Mi Cape Town 8/10
Paarl Royals 19/20
It is no surprise to see this match priced up as a close contest given that the sides sit top of the betting boards. I really like the balance of the home team, but Paarl Royals have plenty of match winners in their squad and I will be hesitant to bet against them. I am going to go for a couple of players in the Exotic Markets.
Suggested Bet: Over 1, Paarl Royals Total over 5.5 runs at 8/10
The Paarl Royals have a big hitting batting line-up and I am expecting them to go for it from ball one.
Suggested bet: Bowler Total Match Wickets, Khan over 1.5 wickets at 12/10
I am expecting Khan to lead from the front and I am also taking him to be the Top Wicket Taker for his team at 5/2 so I am betting on a strong start.
