CT vs DUR T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, SA20 2023
Friday evening’s SA20 game brings together MI Cape Town and Durban Super Giants at Newlands. MI Cape Town had an impressive start with an eight wicket win over Paarl Royals. The Super Giants lost by 16 runs to Joburg Super Kings in their opening game. Read on as we preview Match 5 of the tournament. This game gets underway in Cape Town at 17:30 local time.
MI Cape Town came into their opener as underdogs but were too strong with bat and ball for Paarl Royals. They will be very confident of repeating their display and making it two wins from two.
Durban Super Giants kept some of Joburg Super Kings’ batters quiet in Match 2, but a few expensive overs at the end of the innings were enough to lose the game. With better bowling, they could cause MI Cape Town problems.

MI Cape Town Team News & Playing 11
CT Team News
Although they beat Paarl Royals with 27 balls remaining in their opening match, there is still plenty more to come from MI Cape Town. It would be a big surprise to see them make any changes for this game after such a convincing performance.
CT Key Players
- Dewald Brevis - The 19 year old made the cricketing world sit up and take notice of him again on Tuesday. He hit five sixes in his innings and will bring his fearless mentality into this game.
- Sam Curran - The English T20 World Cup winning all-rounder chipped in with 20 runs from 16 balls against Paarl Royals. His all-round ability will be very useful on this Cape Town pitch.
- Jofra Archer - In his first top level game in almost two years, the England pace bowler produced a maiden as well as the wickets of Wihan Lubbe, David Miller and Fersisco Adams. He remains a top class bowler.
CT Team Form
MI Cape Town were very impressive throughout the opening game and are looking to make it two wins from two in this match.

Durban Super Giants Team News & Playing 11
DUR Team News
After posting 98-1 from their opening 11 overs chasing 191, the Super Giants will be disappointed to have not got over the winning line. However, there was plenty of encouragement for the team management across the match and we expect the same line-up in this game.
DUR Key Players
- Quinton de Kock - the left-handed keeper-batter is a perfect fit for this tournament. He hit five fours and five sixes at the top of the order against Joburg Super Kings.
- Kyle Mayers - The batting all-rounder opened the innings with bat and ball on Wednesday. His only over conceded three runs before he hit 39 runs from 29 balls. He will be full of confidence ahead of this match.
- Jason Holder - The West Indian all-rounder came into the attack late in the first game and dismissed the very dangerous Romario Shepherd with the penultimate delivery of the innings.
DUR Team Form
The Super Giants put in a good performance in their opening match but know that they need to step up to get a win in this top quality tournament.

Who will win MI Cape Town vs Durban Super Giants T20 Match?
Any T20 team with Dewald Brevis and Jofra Archer will always be strong but it is the strength in depth across the team from the likes of Sam Curran and Rassie van der Dussen which makes MI Cape Town so attractive.
🏆 MI Cape Town vs Durban Super Giants Prediction
On Saturday evening, all eyes will be on this game as the cricketing world waits to see what Dewald Brevis and Jofra Archer can produce in Match 5. It will take a very strong performance from Durban Super Giants to prevent another win for MI Cape Town but we think the Giants have the capability to do so with Quinton de Kock in form. However, MI Cape Town’s bowling line-up looks to be one of the best in the tournament and we are predicting another win for them in this game
