MI Cape Town
MI Cape Town began their tournament away to the Super Giants in Durban and despite Rickelton smashing 87 off 51 balls in a score of 207/5 they lost by 11 runs (DLS)
MI put themselves on the board at the weekend and in some style as they powered their way to a bat first total of 243/5 against the Super Kings in Johannesburg. Rickleton with 98 and van der Dussen with 104 put on exactly 200 for the first stick and the MI bowlers shared the wickets around as the Super Kings were bowled out for 145. MI won by 98 runs and picked up a bonus point along the way.
This is how MI Cape Town lined up last time out
Rassie van der Dussen, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Dewald Brevis, Connor Esterhuizen, Liam Livingstone, Kieron Pollard (c), Sam Curran, George Linde, Kagiso Rabada, Beuran Hendricks, Olly Stone
Did not play: Thomas Kaber, Grant Roelofsen, Duan Jansen, Tom Banton, Delano Potgieter, Nuwan Thushara, Chris Benjamin, Nealan van Heerden
Sunrisers Eastern Cape
Things haven't gone to plan for the Sunrisers in the defence of the title they won last year. Their opening game at home to Joburg Super Kings was washed out without a ball being bowled and at the weekend they went down by 35 runs at home to the Durban Super Giants.
Durban posted 2225/3 in that game and the Sunrisers replied with 190/9 with Tom Abell (65) and Tristan Stubbs (55) their top run scorers.
This is how the Sunrisers lined up last time out
Jordan Hermann, Adam Rossington (wk), Tom Abell, Aiden Markram (c), Tristan Stubbs, Liam Dawson, Marco Jansen, Beyers Swanepoel, Simon Harmer, Ottniel Baartman, Daniel Worrall

The Verdict
Plenty of firepower on both sides and whilst I'm taking a bit of a punt on the conditions, the recent test match here was over in double quick time. I'll take a chance with Sam Curran taking 2 or more wickets
Bets: Sam Curran Wickets over 1.5 at 1.45/1 with Pokerbet
