MI Cape Town
These 2 sides met as recently as Thursday at Centurion and MI Cape Town came out on top by 34 runs to put themselves back in contention for a play off spot.
Batting first MI piled on 248/4 with Rickleton making 90 and Brevis not out 66. Thushara then too 3 wickets and Rabada 2 as the Capitals reply closed on 214/8.
That victory moved MI Cape Town level with JSK on 13 log points with a record of 3 wins and 6 defeats. JSK host the table topping Super Giants after this so victory here would eliminate the Capitals and heap pressure on JSK
This is how MI Cape Town lined up last time out
Rassie van der Dussen, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Dewald Brevis, Kieron Pollard (c), George Linde, Thomas Kaber, Nealan van Heerden, Kagiso Rabada, Nuwan Thushara
Did not play: Delano Potgieter, Olly Stone, Beuran Hendricks, Tom Banton, Grant Roelofsen, Duan Jansen, Chris Benjamin, Connor Esterhuizen
Pretoria Capitals
Kyle Verreynne was unbeaten on 116 (52 balls) in Thursday's defeat to MICT but he lacked support and the loss leaves the Capitals at the foot of the standings with a record of 2 wins, 6 defeats and 1 no result. Their tally of 10 log points means they can overhaul MI with a victory here and then they will be sweating on the outcome of the clash between JSK and DSG.
This is how the Capitals lined up last time out
Philip Salt (wk), Will Jacks, Kyle Verreynne, Rilee Rossouw, Colin Ackermann, Theunis de Bruyn, Shane Dadswell, Wayne Parnell (c), Eathan Bosch, Adil Rashid, Daryn Dupavillon
Did not play: Colin Ingram, Senuran Muthusamy, Paul Stirling, Hardus Viljoen, Corbin Bosch, Migael Pretorius, Matthew Boast, Steve Stolk
