The SA20 is ongoing, and the fans are getting to witness some great performances at the Rainbow Nation with some teams enjoying success while others struggling with defeat. It is match number 11 at the Newlands in Cape Town which is one of the iconic grounds in South Africa. This time MI Cape Town will be hosted by the Paarl Royals. The Royals might be having a good tournament so far, but they do not have a good history against the MI Cape Town as they lost both their games last season. The MI Cape Town players will know this and they will be eager to get back to start a winning streak of their own in the tournament.
The MI Cape Town have so far had a really hot and cold season with 1 brilliant victory against the Joburg Super Kings and 2 close-fought losses. They will be disappointed for not chasing down the target in their last game against the Sunrisers Eastern Cape against whom they fell short by just 4 runs. Kieron Pollard and his men would want to get back to winning ways show their best performance against the Royals and break their winning streak at the Newlands.
The Paarl Royals on the other hand are enjoying a phenomenal season at the top of the table winning their first 3 games on the trot. The last game once again saw the brilliance of Lungi Ngidi and the power of Jos Buttler getting them to a victory at home by 7 wickets. These are good times for David Miller and his Royal Army as they will be looking to extend their winning streak and get their first victory against MI Cape Town in the SA20. All eyes will be on this contest featuring some great players.

MICT vs PR Pitch Report
The Newlands is back to being the batter's paradise once again as we saw in the last game that was played here. There was some bounce and seam movement in places, but otherwise, it was another flat track that gave us a high-scoring thriller which this ground has given in the past. With a lot of big-hitting aggressive players featuring in this game, we hope to expect another big game on our hands. The target of the team will first be to bowl and restrict the team under 170 and chase down the total in the 2nd innings.
