Coming into this game the Paarl Royals are priced at 5/2 to win the tournament followed by Mi Cape Town who are at 9/2.
MI CAPE TOWN
In their most recent match, Mi Cape Town faced the Sunrisers Eastern Cape, losing the toss and were asked to bowl first. They only took their first wicket only when the Sunrisers reached 138 runs but thanks to captain Kieron Pollard who got 2 wickets in his 3 overs they managed to peg the Sunrisers back to a total of 202 runs in the 20 overs.
Mi Cape Town started strongly in reply losing their first wicket at 108 runs. Van der Dussen, who scored 41 runs and Rickelton who top-scored with 58 runs continued to develop their strong opening partnership. A run of wickets meant Mi Cape Town were unable to chase the required 202 runs, finishing 4 runs short. This result marked their second loss in the three games played putting them in fourth place on the table with 5 points.
PAARL ROYALS
In the Paarl Royals most recent match-up they faced the Joburg Super Kings, losing the toss and having to bowl first. They started a bit slowly taking their first wicket in the fourth over. However, they managed to keep the pressure on, only allowing the Super Kings to score a total of 134 runs, with a notable contribution from Lungi Ngidi, who took three wickets.
The Royals had a slow start in the chase losing their first wicket in the second over with only 15 runs on the board. However, they followed this with some solid batting, led by Jos Buttler, who scored 70 runs off the 37 balls he faced. This impressive innings helped them comfortably chase down the required 134 runs with 7 wickets in hand and just under 6 overs remaining, securing their third win of the tournament and placing them at the top of the table.
HEAD TO HEAD
The last time these two sides faced each other was at Boland Park last season where MI Cape Town managed to secure the win by 13 runs.

MI Cape Town 17/20
Paarl Royals 10/11
Suggested Bet: Ryan Rickelton to score over 20.5 runs at 17/20
Rickelton has been on fire this season and I am backing to deliver another strong start for MI Cape Town.
Suggested Bet: Mi Cape Town to win at 17/20
Both Mi Cape Town losses have been close and I get the feeling they are on the verge of putting together a winning run. They opened 19/20 so other punters clearly feel the same way.
