MI Cape Town 13/25
Pretoria Capitals 31/20
This is the shortest price I have seen a team all tournament and it is hard to argue with the price. Although top spot is secured MI Cape Town will be looking to keep momentum going heading into the business end of proceedings and the Capitals have too many struggling players.
I am going to look at some of the other markets on offer.
Suggested Bet: Rashid Khan over 1.5 wickets at 11/10
Khan was superb on Friday and for my money it was his spell that really turned the match in the favour of his team. He seems to be thriving in a leadership role and I am looking for at least 2 wickets from this world class player.
Suggested Bet: Pretoria Capitals 1st over more than 6.5 runs at 12/10
I am expecting an aggressive approach early and hopefully Jacks finds the middle of the bat early.
Suggested Bet: Player of the Match Brevis at 9/1
Can he go back to back? The fact that he is battling so well but also playing a role with the ball suggests to me that he has every chance.
