MI Cape Town vs Pretoria Capitals prediction

Rain denied MI Cape Town of a serious crack at Durban Super Giants in their rematch last time out but victory here against Pretoria Capitals would make them feel a lot better about those two points gained on Sunday. They’ve a great opportunity to do so when considering how difficult the Capitals have life so far in SA20 this season, losing twice by 22 runs and 48 runs respectively. The batting has simply not been competitive, with Pretoria failing to reach 150 on both occasions, not to mention losing 19 of a possible 20 wickets.

Based on what we saw in the opening match at Newlands, a very good batting surface is likely to be in use as 449 runs were scored between MI Cape Town and Durban’s Super Giants, the former accumulating 217 of those. Expect them to put another high score on the board if batting first and should MI Cape Town be bowling, then they’ll fancy their chances in any run chase. Back the home side to extend Pretoria’s woes heading into 2026.
