MICT vs SUNE Dream11 Prediction for today’s Match SA20 Match 8, Playing XI, Pitch Reports, Injury updates

The SA20 2024 is still in its early stages but is still panning out to be a great event that is being witnessed by the fans. It will be match number 8 at the Newlands in Cape Town where MI Cape Town will be hosting the defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape. This will be a great contest to look forward to between the ex-star all-rounder Kieron Pollard and the current upcoming one in Aiden Markram. This will be the first time these two go head to head at one of the most iconic grounds in the Rainbow Nation, which the fans and experts will look forward to. This will be a contest to see if MI Cape Town will conquer in their first game at home or if the Sunrisers will rise to the occasion.

MI Cape Town are still looking to come back from a terrible season last year and has been impressive so far with the bat where on both occasions they have scored above 200, but it is with the ball where they have to be more consistent. So far their last two games include a heartbreaking loss against the Durban SuperGiants and a phenomenal win against the Joburg Super Kings. They have already created an impact on the tournament by scoring one of the highest totals in the tournament.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape might be the defending champions right now but have had an underwhelming beginning to their season. The first game they played was a washout and the second game was a disappointing performance from the team. This will be a match where they will want to get their first win on the board and prove why they were the Inaugural champions in the first play. This will be a big challenge for them against a solid-looking MI Cape Town side, however, we will never know what they will have under their sleeve.

MICT vs SUNE: Pitch Report

The Newlands pitch has been rated as Unsatisfactory by the council after the 2nd Test between South Africa and India, but in the past, it was known as a really good wicket to bat on and it will be interesting to see how this pitch will react. The ground staff might have made some necessary changes to make the ground fit enough to play after the verdict from the Apex Cricket Council. Just like the players, we will have to wait and watch how this wicket will react on the day with the white ball and less number of overs.
