Read on for team previews, betting odds, betting tips and match prediction for Tshwane Spartans vs Paarl Rocks, Mzansi Super League 2018...
The Spartans will have their hopes pinned on AB de Villiers, Gihahn Cloete and Dean Elgar when it comes to batting. Cloete has scored the most runs for them in the tournament and he even smashed a 49-ball 80 in the reverse fixture against Paarl Rocks. Elgar has also been amongst the runs while de Villiers will be looking to make a strong comeback after failing to contribute much last time against Cape Town Blitz. Jeevan Mendis and Lutho Sipamla have been outstanding with the ball so far and these two are key for the Spartans in terms of bowling. Mendis is leading the MSL 2018 wickets charts with 13 wickets in 6 matches and the leg-spinner was the pick of the bowlers against the Rocks at the Boland Park. Sipamla has nine wickets in the tournament and he along with Rory Kleinveldt will be the main threats among the seamers.

Their batting is set to receive a boost with the return of Cameron Delport and West Indian all-rounder Dwayne Bravo. Delport clubbed 73 runs off 43 balls in the earlier encounter against Tshwane Spartans and the team will want him to replicate that performance here. Faf du Plessis is looking in good form having hit two half-centuries already which includes an unbeaten 48-ball 76 in the last game versus Durban Heat. Aiden Markram has had a couple of good hits himself and he too is a key figure for Paarl Rocks at the top of the order. The team's bowling will depend heavily on the likes of Bjorn Fortuin and Dane Paterson who have been the most impressive of all the bowlers in the side. Fortuin is the tournament's second-best bowler at the moment with nine wickets in six matches and the left-arm spinner is more likely to finish with the best figures in this match.

Tshwane Spartans begin as the bookmakers' favorites to win this Mzansi Super League clash and they are being offered at odds of 1.75 on Betway and 1.80 on both Bet365 and Betfair. Paarl Rocks are the underdogs for this game at a higher price of 1.95 on Betway, 2 on Bet365 and 2.16 on Betfair.
Paarl Rocks had faced a one-run defeat to Tshwane Spartans in a high-scoring thriller earlier in the tournament and so they will be going into this game with vengeance on their mind. The latter do have the home advantage on their side but they will be aware of the fact that they have lost two of their three matches played so far at this ground. And while the Spartans are under a lot of pressure having lost three of their last four matches, the Rocks seem pretty confident after winning three of their last four. Paarl Rocks have been further bolstered with the return of Cameron Delport and Dwayne Bravo which is another reason why we expect them to prevail in this battle.
Final Verdict: Back Paarl Rocks to beat Tshwane Spartans at 1.95 on Betway, 2 on Bet365 and 2.16 on Betfair.
