MATCH: Pretoria Capitals vs MI Cape Town
DATE: Feb 01, 2024
TIME: 21:00 IST / 15:30 GMT
VENUE: SuperSport Park – Centurion, South Africa
TOURNAMENT: SA20 2024
A win in their last game against table-toppers Durban Super Giants would have helped Wayne Parnell-led Capitals to keep their playoff chances in their own hands. However, they suffered a deflating eight-run defeat and will now need favours from other teams to make it beyond the league phase. Cape Town also have a mathematical chance of making it to the playoffs but they would need to pick themselves up from a hole after losing four games in a row.
SuperSport Park Pitch Report and Conditions
The SuperSport Park in Centurion is known for being one of the most batting-friendly tracks in the Rainbow Nation. Four games have been played at the venue so far in SA20 2024. The first couple of games witnessed three scores of 200 and above. The third game, however, turned out to be a low-scoring thriller, as Pretoria managed to defend a paltry target of 126 against defending champions Sunrisers Cape Town.
The most recent match that was held in Centurion saw the match being called off after rain played spoilsport with only 4.4 overs of cricket being played. It would be interesting to see what kind of surface greets the two teams on Thursday. However, the possibility of a belter being on offer is more likely. There is thankfully no chance of rain in this match as per AccuWeather.
PRC vs MICT Predicted Playing XI
Pretoria Capitals:
Phil Salt (WK), Will Jacks, Kyle Verreynne, Rilee Rossouw, Colin Ackermann, Colin Ingram, Senuran Muthusamy, Wayne Parnell (C), Eathan Bosch, Adil Rashid, Daryn Dupavillon
MI Cape Town:
Rassie van der Dussen, Ryan Rickelton (WK), Dewald Brevis, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Kieron Pollard (C), Delano Potgieter, George Linde, Thomas Kaber, Kagiso Rabada, Nuwan Thushara
Probable Top Performers from PRC vs MICT
Probable Best Batter: Ryan Rickelton
The explosive opening batter’s form has tapered off after he got off to a blistering start in the tournament. After amassing 337 runs in his first four innings, Rickelton has only managed 68 in the following four. He scored a 16-ball 23 in Cape Town’s last game against Joburg Super Kings. If the southpaw can get his eye in, he can play the long innings and it would make things easier for the big hitters like Kieron Pollard and Sam Curran.
Probable Best Bowler: Thomas Kaber
The left-arm wrist spinner has bowled quite well in the tournament. He has picked up seven wickets in six games at an average of 15.57 and a strike rate of 13.71. His economy rate is also an impressive 6.81. Kaber will have to play a pivotal role for Cape Town in the middle overs.
