MICT vs SUNE T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, SA20 2024
Match 8 of the 2024 SA20 sees MI Cape Town take on Sunrisers Eastern Cape at Newlands on Tuesday evening. A 98 run win over Joburg Super Kings gave MI Cape Town their first win of the tournament after they lost their opener. Sunrisers had a no-result in their first game before losing to Durban’s Super Giants. Read on as we preview this fixture. The game gets underway in Cape Town at 17:30 local time.
MI Cape Town posted a brilliant 243/5 in their last match before their bowlers were able to easily defend the total and take 10 wickets. As result, the entire squad will have plenty of self-belief ahead of this game and we are expecting to see them get another win.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape will need to produce a much more disciplined performance with the ball in this fixture after they conceded 225/3 against Durban’s Super Giants in their last match. They have batting talent but that may not be enough in this game.
