SA20: Betting Tips.

Following the success of the inaugural SA20 tournament which saw Sunrisers Eastern Cape being crowned champions the much anticipated second edition has kickstarted on Wednesday with cricket stars across the globe coming to South Africa to entertain the fans. For all six teams, their ambition is to get the elusive title and put themselves into the history books. They have a period of a month to battle for that. Let’s look at some of the matches expected to ignite fire among the fans this weekend.

Joburg Super Kings vs MI Cape Town

After the first match was abandoned, Joburg Super Kings will welcome MI Cape Town at Supersport Park on Saturday with the ambition of making a statement and getting the first win of the season. Last season when these two sides met, it was Super Kings who managed to win in the same venue and hope the history will repeat itself. For MI, they would feel unlucky to lose against Durban Super Giants on Wednesday. They posted 207 on the scoreboard having asked to bat first. But the batting masterclass shown by Heinrich Klaassen meant they ended up losing a rain-affected match by 11 runs through the DLS method. Nevertheless, they have shown to the public that they can put in a good batting performance against any opponent. They have a chance to wipe the disappointment on Saturday, but it won’t come easy.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Durban Super Giants

The champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape got the tournament off to a false start with their game against Durban Super Giants washed out. Now, they have to play a catch-up game against other teams. The good thing is they have an opportunity to defeat the table-toppers Super Giants for the opportunity to occupy that position. In the first season, they indicated that they could gain more momentum in the later stages of the competition. So, it might be another history rewriting itself. Meeting Super Giants who are riding high having snatched a big win on Thursday night against MI Cape Town. That victory gives them a huge morale going forward. If last season didn’t teach them a lesson they have to work early to progress to the next round. Then it will never happen again. For Super Giants – their strength relies on attacking which can hurt any opponents on the day.

Paarl Royals vs Pretoria Capitals

These sides will meet twice in a space of two days in different venues. So, it becomes so hard to predict the outcome of which team will manage supreme. If it happens, one team gets a double then it would have shown the strong character and built a very much-needed winning formula going forward. The last time these two sides faced off at Centurion, the Capitals used the home ground to their advantage. It would take a huge effort to deny them a win at home as they have a pool of talented players in their squad. But sometimes talent alone doesn’t win you games. It requires a correct execution and approach. Above all, this match will grab fans’ attention who will be eager for the outcome.
