The Verdict
The MI Cape Town openers failed to fire in their most recent outing but their form prior to that was scintillating. DSG also have some big guns and that sways me towards a highest individual total of 71 runs or more.
Bets: Highest Individual Total by Top Batter, over 70.5 runs at 0.83/1 with Betway
