The 13th match of SA20 2025 will be played between MI Cape Town and Joburg Super Kings at Newlands, Cape Town. MI Cape Town has had a mixed season so far, winning two matches and losing two. Players like Dewald Brevis, Reeza Hendricks, and Rassie van der Dussen need to step up.
Joburg Super Kings, on the other hand, have been in fine form. They already defeated MI Cape Town in their first meeting at the Wanderers and will look to repeat that success. Despite losing out on points in a washed-out game against Pretoria Capitals, the Super Kings are keen to secure the top spot again.
How the Pitch Plays
The Newlands pitch traditionally offers true bounce, making it friendly for batters in the first innings. MI Cape Town posted over 170 in the previous match here, taking advantage of the good batting conditions early on. However, as the game progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, aiding spinners and pacers who can extract movement.
Teams winning the toss may prefer to bat first, as scoring becomes difficult in the second innings.
