SUNE vs MICT T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, SA20 2024
Sunrisers Eastern Cape and MI Cape Town go head to head on Saturday afternoon in Match 20 at St George’s Park, Gqeberha. After winning three in a row, Sunrisers Eastern Cape were beaten on Thursday whereas MI Cape Town have lost their last two matches in the tournament. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at 13:30 local time.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape were perhaps guilty of over-confidence on Thursday as they had beaten Pretoria Capitals by 9 wickets only three days earlier. Aiden Markram will not let the same thing happen in this match and the Sunrisers should have enough quality to return to winning ways.
MI Cape Town won two of their first four games but come into this match after losing three of their last four. This is going to be a tough clash for them but they do have match-winners throughout their side and will believe they have a chance.

SUNE vs MICT Match Toss Prediction
The last game at St George’s Park saw Sunrisers Eastern Cape win easily after fielding first. There is usually more assistance for the bowlers in the first half of the game so we expect both skippers to choose to field first if they win the toss.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape Team News & Playing 11
SUNE Team News
Consistent team selection has been a key part of Sunrisers Eastern Cape’s success in this tournament and it was a surprise to see the opening partnership tampered with ahead of Match 18. Tom Abell and Ottniel Baartman were both left out for Adam Rossington and Beyers Swanepoel.
SUNE Key Players
- Dawid Malan- the left-hander has the ability to be completely out of form at the start of an innings before making a century later on and after successive single figure scores, Sunrisers will be looking for that in this game.
- Jordan Hermann- after making scores of 106 not out, 25 and 20 not out at the top of the order in the previous three innings, the left-hander came in at number three on Thursday but we expect him back opening for this match.
- Daniel Worrall- the 32 year old right-arm fast medium Australian is yet to go wicketless in this campaign and added another two dismissals to his tally on Thursday.
- Marco Jansen- the bowling all-rounder produced his best display of the tournament so far and dismissed Will Jacks then Phil Salt in the same over against Pretoria Capitals.
SUNE Team Form
Sunrisers Eastern Cape had won by 9 wickets, 5 wickets and 4 runs prior to their narrow defeat on Thursday.

MI Cape Town Team News & Playing 11
MICT Team News
Although MI Cape Town have been defeated in their last two games, it is their most experienced players who have failed to produce the goods and we expect them to be given another opportunity in this fixture. There are no injuries in the camp ahead of this clash.
MICT Key Players
- Ryan Rickleton- batting at the top of the order, the keeper-batter is often up against the best bowlers but he also scores at a fast rate and will look to get MI Cape Town off to a flying start in this match.
- Sam Curran- the England all-format international all-rounder has long been talked of as a potential better batter than bowler. He hit four sixes and one four as he top scored for MI Cape Town in the last game.
- Kagiso Rabada- the right-arm fast bowler has gone wicketless in the last two matches but he will enjoy this wicket at St George’s Park and we expect him to come back into form.
- Thomas Kaber- the experienced bowling all-rounder has really gone up a level in SA20 2024 and dismissed JJ Smuts before getting the big wicket of Heinrich Klaasen in the last match.
MICT Team Form
MI Cape Town come into this match after successive defeats against Durban’s Super Giants and Paarl Royals.
MI Cape Town Predicted Playing 11
Rassie van der Dussen, Ryan Rickleton, Connor Esterhuizen, Sam Curran, Dewald Brevis, Liam Livingstone, Kieron Pollard (c), George Linde, Thomas Kaber, Olly Stone, Kagiso Rabada
