Sunrisers Eastern Cape 2.00
Pretoria Capitals 1.80
Suggested Bet: Top Batter – Will Jacks at 5.00
Jacks hasn’t quite reached the levels of his opening match in Durban or his previous seasons in this tournament but he is not far off and I am backing him to come good on Wednesday.
Suggested Bet: Bowler Total Match Wickets – Marco Jansen over 1.5 at 2.40
Jansen is a brilliant bowler who can often be seen taking 2+ wickets and he is a strong contender for player of the tournament already. His steep bounce means he is always in with a chance and bowling upfront when teams are forced to attack him is also a plus.
