We will again see the MI Cape Town v Durban Super Giants match in this tournament. In their first match, MI Cape Town played first and set a huge target of 208 runs. In response, the Super Giants were batting well, and it was getting very interesting when rain halted the fun, and the match was officially called off.
Because Super Giants were ahead of the par score before the match was called off, they were declared the winner of the game by the DLS method. Last time we couldn’t see a proper match between the two teams; it would be interesting to see who will win this match. But before that, let’s take a look at the MICT v DSG match predictions in this article.
