Match 29 Preview
Sunrisers Eastern Cape are second on the table with 24 points from nine matches. Their last completed match was Match 26, a tight loss to MI Cape Town at Newlands. Batting first, Sunrisers posted 139/9, with Marco Jansen top-scoring with 42 off 23. With the ball, Jansen also contributed 2/23 (4 overs) and had SEC won we would likely have landed the Jansen Player of the Match bet. But MI Cape Town got home in a close chase, reaching 140/7 in 19.2 overs.
MI Cape Town are fifth on the log with 14 points from nine matches and they need to win this game and hope JSK lose both of these and DSG don’t win big and improve their net run rate.
They also last featured in Match 26, where they chased down 140 to beat Sunrisers by 3 wickets. Corbin Bosch produced the defining performance, taking 4/34 (4 overs) and earning Player of the Match, while Reeza Hendricks contributed 41 off 43 in the chase to keep MI on track under pressure.

Suggested Bets
Sunrisers Eastern Cape to win @ 2.05
I am not sure MICT deserve to be favourites here and I think SEC are the play. This bets chances will be improved if JSK win their match against the Capitals as it will mean MICT have nothing to play for. SEC will potentially still have to fight for a top 2 place.
Top MI Cape Town Wicket Taker – Corbin Bosch @4.75
Bosch was the key bowler on Friday, taking 4/34 (4 overs) and being named Player of the Match. He seems to be improving as the tournament progresses and can get amongst the wickets again.
Matthew Breetzke under 19.5 runs @1.87
Breetzke looks totally out of touch and I would not be surprised to see him dropped down the order in certain match situations like a big chase or the opening pair getting off to a flying start.
