CT vs JOH T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, SA20 2023
Match 7 of the SA20 sees MI Cape Town take on Joburg Super Kings at Newlands on Saturday evening. Both teams won their opening fixture before being defeated in their second. Whichever team wins this fixture will move up into the one of the top two positions in the league. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway in Cape Town at 17:30 local time.
In spite of some big performances from Grant Roelofsen and Olly Stone, MI Cape Town were well beaten on Friday. However, they have some of the world’s best players and we expect them to bounce back with a win in this match.
Joburg Super Kings have won one game by 16 runs and lost another by seven wickets. There is often inconsistency at the start of new tournaments but they have shown that they have a very good squad of players.

MI Cape Town Team News & Playing 11
CT Team News
After their dominant display in the opening game of the tournament, it was no surprise to see MI Cape Town unchanged for their second clash. Although the match didn’t go their way, there are no injuries in the side and we expect to see them take the field with the same players in this fixture.
CT Key Players
- Dewald Brevis- the 19 year old opener received praise from far and wide after hitting 70 not out against Paarl Royals but he was brought back down to earth with a two-ball duck on Friday.
- Rashid Khan- the leg-spinner has gone wicketless in his last three T20 games and taken only two wickets from his last seven matches (BBL and SA20). However, even when not taking wickets, he is very economical.
- Olly Stone- the English pace bowler has had a tough few years with a range of injuries but he looked back to his best on Friday. He has six wickets from two games and will look to build on that tally in this match.
CT Team Form
MI Cape Town won their opening game with 27 balls remaining but the Super Giants beat them by a similarly comfortable margin on Friday.

Joburg Super Kings Team News & Playing 11
JOH Team News
There was one change for Joburg Super Kings ahead of their second game. Out went 35 year old right arm medium pace bowler Malusi Siboto with 29 year old Lizaad Williams coming in to replace him. Williams hit 17 not out on Friday and we expect him to retain his place.
JOH Key Players
Faf du Plessis- the skipper has scored only one half century in his last 10 T20 innings. So far in the SA20 he has a top score of 39 and, ahead of this game, is yet to make a big impact with the bat.
Romario Shepherd- the all-rounder has developed a reputation as a powerful and successful lower-order hitter. He got his first wicket in the tournament on Friday.
Alzarri Joseph- the right arm fast bowler took 2-30 in the opening match before going wicketless in the second. He is one of the most accurate pace bowlers in the world and will be hard to face in this match.
JOH Team Form
The Super Kings beat Durban’s Super Giants by 16 runs in their opening game but were well beaten in their second game.

Who will win MI Cape Town vs Joburg Super Kings T20 Match?
MI Cape Town have seen one of their top three hit a half-century in both games, but it is in their bowling department where they look to have the real edge on Joburg Super Kings.
🏆 MI Cape Town vs Joburg Super Kings Prediction
MI Cape Town will be determined to end their three-match run of home games with a second win in this game. However, it will not be easy against a Joburg Super Kings team with a heavy presence of South African top order batters who will be keen to get a result at the famous Newlands ground. We are expecting a high scoring game but predict that the MI Cape Town bowlers will be more accurate than the Joburg Super Kings bowlers. We are backing MI Cape Town to win.
