MI Cape Town host the Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the Betway SA20 on Wednesday, an important game in terms of the composition of the play off places.
MI Cape Town
With a record of 4 wins, 2 defeats and 1 no result MI Cape Town are in the mix not only for the play offs but to top the log. They come into this game 7 points behind the current leaders Paarl but they do have this game in hand and after this they have a double header against Pretoria Capitals.
In their most recent outing MI beat DSG by 7 wickets at Newlands, restricting their opponents to 149/6 and Rickleton's 63 helped them get home in just 14.5 overs.
Other results at Newlands include a 33 run win over Paarl Royals and a 7 wicket victory over JSK.
This was how MI Cape Town lined up last time out

Sunrisers Eastern Cape
The Sunrisers have 4 wins and 4 defeats against their name and they are 2 points behind MI but have played a game more. After this they finish the round robin at home to Paarl Royals.
They lost their first 3 matches before reeling off 4 straight wins to shoot up the standings but that run came to an abrupt end at The Wanderers on Sunday when they were bowled out for just 118 by JSK and crashed to a 9 wicket defeat. In the first clash with MI at St. Georges it was Cape Town who came out on top by a whopping 97 runs as the Sunrisers, chasing 174/7, were bowled out for only 77.
This was how SEC lined up last time out.

The Verdict
MI Cape Town haven't been extended in winning 3 earlier home games whilst the Sunrisers need to get their poor batting display out of the system.
The home sides batting line up seems to be much more reliable and especially so at Newlands so I'm wagering that one of the Sunrisers bowlers will go for 19 runs or more in a single over.
Bet: Mi Cape Town Total In The Highest Scoring Over, over 18.5 runs at 9/10 with Betway
