The Verdict

 

Jos Buttler had a great SA20 last year but has only 1 knock of note to date, against aa bowling unit that has generally found it tough going this might be an opportunity for him to get a 50 under his belt

 

Bets: Jos buttler to score a 50? yes, was 2/1 now boosted to 3/1 with Sportingbet
