MI Cape Town 8/10
Durban Super Giants 11/10
Suggested Bet: Heinrich Klaasen to score 50 – yes at 22/10
Klaasen is always reliable with the bat in hand and has put some valuable runs on the board in the games so far. He sometimes comes in late but only needs a few overs to reach 50.
Suggested Bet: Mi Cape Town top bowler – Nuwan Thushara at 29/10
Thushara had a good speel with the ball in hand on Sunday against the Royals and I believe he can be a tough bowler to keep out when he gets his swinging yorkers right. He is the type of bowler that always looks like taking wickets and I think he will once again perform with the ball in hand.
