DH vs CTB Betting Tips
- Durban Heat have been frustrated twice by the weather at home and will hope a break in the forecast allows some play in this fixture.
- Cape Town Blitz got back to winning ways last time out, as Liam Livingstone hit 65 to lead them to their second win against Jozi Stars. They did lose heavily to Paarl Rocks in between, however.
- Livingstone's Lancashire team-mate Dane Vilas, who was the winning captain in the MSL last season, takes charge of the Heat this season and will be one of their key players.

Our Prediction
Cape Town Blitz are favorites to win
Who will win Durban Heat vs Cape Town Blitz, MSL 2019?
Durban Heat will be desperate to get out onto the pitch after seeing the rain ruin their first two MSL 2.0 matches at Kingsmead so far this season. The third game is scheduled to take place against Cape Town Blitz on November 16, and start at 10:00 local time. There is a break in the forecast at that time.
Cape Town Blitz will be keen to play too, and continue their strong start to the competition. They have twice beaten Jozi Stars, either side of a poor batting display to Paarl Rocks, with Liam Livingstone their top batsman last time out.
Livingstone could come against Lancashire team-mate Dane Vilas at Kingsmead on Sunday. The Durban Heat captain lifted this trophy with Jozi Stars last season and will be keen for more success against the Blitz this year.

CTB Team News
Moeen Ali’s brief MSL 2019 stint is over as he has travelled over to Abu Dhabi for the T10 League. He was replaced by Marques Ackerman last time out, while Asif Ali came into the team in place of Mohammad Nawaz at the conclusion of the T20i leg of Pakistan’s tour of Australia. Wahab Riaz also came straight into the team at the conclusion of his Pakistani duties, replacing Vernon Philander, and Gregory Mahlokwana was the final one of four changes as he stepped in for Aviwe Mgijima. After getting back to winning ways, the much-changed 11 could now be retained.
CTB Key Players
Liam Livingstone: The big-hitting Englishman was back to his best last time out, top-scoring with 65 from 41 balls, including five sixes. If he ticks, he will be a key batsman up the order.
Quinton de Kock: Set the tone with 41 from 21 balls at the top of the order against Jozi Stars, He has 90 runs in this tournament so far and has been in excellent T20 form in general in 2019.
Anrich Nortje: The paceman has taken five wickets in the last two games, including his excellent 2-18 last time out to get back to his best bowling form. He now has 24 wickets in 16 T20 matches.
