SA20 2024 Match 26, PC vs MICT: Team Previews

Pretoria Capitals

Pretoria Capitals managed to secure just two wins against five defeats out of their first eight league fixtures of the season. Currently placed at number five on the six-team SA20 2024 points table, the Capitals need to win each of their remaining two matches against MI Cape Town to book a last-minute berth in the playoffs.

The team will once again rely on sole in-form top-order batsman Will Jacks to come up clutch in their must-win game, and will be hoping for some late runs from out-of-form batters Rilee Rossouw, Phil Salt and all-rounder Jimmy Neesham. In the bowling department, strike bowler Wayne Parnell has conceded runs at more than 10-an-over while Adil Rashid has failed to live up to his potential this season.

MI Cape Town

MI Cape Town will be heading into the battleground at Centurion for Pretoria Capitals challenge off the back of four successive defeats. The losses they incurred at the hands of Paarl Royals and Durban’s Super Giants further hampered their dwindling NRR prospects as they are currently placed at the bottom of the SA20 2024 points table.

MI Cape Town’s batting has mainly revolved around Ryan Rickelton and Rassie van der Dussen, considering the two cricketers have their names registered among the top five run-getters of the tournament. However, they have received little-to-no assistance from others in their quest of scoring big match-winning runs.

SA20 2024 Match 26, PC vs MICT: Centurion Pitch Report

After hosting two high-scoring SA20 2024 thrillers, the surface at the Centurion Park has eased up for the bowlers. The teams batting first charted 200-plus totals in each of the first two games played out here, before hosts Pretoria Capitals managed to score just 125 upfront in the very next match. The average first innings total at the venue this season has emerged around the range of 180. The captain winning the toss will likely opt to bat first, considering the chasing sides have lost each of the three completed fixtures at Centurion Park this tournament.
