Pitch Report

The surface at the Newlands has an evenly balanced track and bowlers do get a fair bit of assistance with the new ball. However, batting becomes relatively easier as the match progresses. Either skipper winning the toss would be inclined to field first.

Predicted Playing XIs for CT vs EAC

MI Cape Town (CT):

Dewald Brevis, Ryan Rickelton, Rassie van der Dussen, Grant Roelofsen (wk), Sam Curran, George Linde, Delano Potgieter, Odean Smith, Rashid Khan (c), Kagiso Rabada, Olly Stone

Sunrisers Eastern Cape (EAC):

Probable Best Performers for CT vs EAC

Probable best batter: Dewald Brevis

Brevis has been relishing a terrific campaign thus far in the league with the bat for the Cape Town franchise. In just four innings, the flamboyant batter has amassed 127 runs at an average of 42.33 and stands second on the list of highest run-getters. The agenda for him will be to continue hitting the ball hard and score the big runs.

Probable best bowler: Ottniel Baartman

If there is anyone who has a probability of stopping Brevis, it has to be Baartman. The right-arm pacer has been in sublime form as he has racked up seven wickets in three outings with his best bowling figures being 3/45. Although, he will have to work on restricting the rival side from targeting him, Baartman can prove to be a lethal one for the Sunrisers.
