MI Cape Town vs Durban’s Super Giants prediction

MI Cape Town have always boasted a stacked SA20 squad since the tournament’s formation and finally lived up to their high expectations in the third season of competition, beating back-to-back champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape to lift the trophy for the first time. Now it’s about following up that campaign with a repeat performance this time around, starting against Durban’s Super Giants in the league stage.

Durban’s big-name players include Jos Buttler, Heinrich Klaasen and captain Aiden Markram, not to mention New Zealand’s Devon Conway. Such hard-striking batters are enough to give any opposition attack nightmares. But their depth looks shallow and there are question marks regarding the bowling attack. MI Cape Town meanwhile can call upon Kagiso Rabada, Trent Boult and Rashid Khan to neutralise those big-hitters. That is an incredible strong bowling unit and makes it well worth backing MI Cape Town on their own patch.
