Sunrisers Eastern Cape v MI Cape Town: Match Predictions
This will be the second match between these two teams. Last time, the Sunrisers defeated MI by 4 runs. Both teams had a similar start to the season. Sunrisers’ first match was canceled without a ball being bowled, while the first match of MI was called off just a few overs before its conclusion, both due to rain. Currently, these two teams are in the top 4 in the points table, in a safe zone.
After a bad start, the Sunrisers Eastern Cape won three matches in a row, but recently they faced defeat against the Pretoria Capitals. With 3 wins, the team is currently in third position in the points table, but to ensure they stay in the top 4, they have to win more matches. These are a few players from the Sunrisers squad predicted to perform well in this match:
- Aiden Markram
- Jordan Hermann
- Dawid Malan
- Ottniel Baartman
- Marco Jansen
MI Cape Town had a decent start to the tournament, but after losing two consecutive matches, the team isn’t looking very comfortable on the points table. After defeating Sunrisers Eastern Cape, now Pretoria Capitals also have two wins to their name, and just one more victory will replace MI Cape Town in the top 4. These are the players from MI Cape Town predicted to play well in this match:
- Ryan Rickelton
- Rassie van der Dussen
- Kieron Pollard
- Sam Curran
- Kagiso Rabada
Both teams are strong and have world-class players in their squad. However, Sunrisers Eastern Cape has better statistics and performance this season, which is why fans are predicting them to be the match-winners ahead of the game.
