The Verdict

 

The Super Giants have lost the services of Pooran who was only available for the first 2 games but they have a well balanced squad and a player in red hot form in the shape of Heinrich Klaasen.

 

I enjoyed watching Richard Gleeson bowl for the Super Giants earlier this week and his mix of express pace and control earns him my vote to take 2 or more wickets

 

Bets: Player Wickets Richard Gleeson over 1.5 at 1.55/1 with Sportingbet
