Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at Newlands at 17:30 local time.
MI Cape Town have one of the best bowling attacks in the tournament and they will win them games on their own at times. We expect the home team to have too much quality to lose this game.
Pretoria Capitals come into this game at the top of the table. However, with two defeats from their last four matches, they are no longer the strong unbeaten team from a week ago.

MI Cape Town Team News & Playing 11
CT Team News
In spite of being beaten by Eastern Cape by two wickets with three balls remaining, MI Cape Town were unchanged for their clash with Paarl Royals in Match 16. The team management seem keen to keep their best group of players on the field and we expect to see the same XI for this game.
CT Key Players
- Dewald Brevis - The young opener comes into this game with recent scores of two, six and 15. However, he has way too much big-hitting ability to stay in this poor run of form for long.
- Rashid Khan - The captain and lead spinner in the side has picked up wickets in each of his last four matches and dismissed Mitchell Van Buuren in the last game.
- Kagiso Rabada - The South African all-format pace bowler has combined tournament figures of 7-99 with 3-34 coming in the last game on this pitch.
CT Team Form
After two successive defeats, MI Cape Town got back to winning ways with the 13 run win over Paarl Royals on Saturday.

Pretoria Capitals Team News & Playing 11
PRE Team News
There was one big absentee for Pretoria Capitals at the top of their order on Sunday with English keeper-batter Will Jacks missing with illness. Although he is said to be recovering well, we expect him to be given additional time to get better and will rest again during this match.
PRE Key Players
- Will Jacks - Although he was without his opening batting partner in the last game, he performed with the ball and took two wickets in an over. He has hit over 200 runs in the SA20.
- Theunis de Bruyn - The middle order batter hit a half-century against Paarl Royals in the last match and will be full of confidence. So far in the competition, he has out-performed his team-mate Rilee Rossouw.
- Anrich Nortje - The right-arm fast bowler went wicketless for the first time in the tournament on Sunday. However, he still has a strike-rate of 13.7.
PRE Team Form
Pretoria Capitals lost with two balls remaining on Sunday to end their winning run of two successive matches.
