TST vs CTB Dream11 Team Prediction: 29th Match, Mzansi Super League 2019

TST vs CTB Dream11 Prediction, Match Preview and Probable Playing XI of the 29th match of Mzansi Super League 2019. Tshwane Spartans will take on Cape Town Blitz at SuperSport Park in Centurion.

Tshwane Spartans are currently in the 3rd position in the points table with 3 wins and 21 points. But they had to face disappointment in the last three matches. They lost the third last match to Cape Town Blitz by 15 runs and also lost the second last match to Nelson Mandela Bay Giants by 6 wickets and their previous match was washed out. As Tshwane Spartans have lost two consecutive matches they would be really focusing on winning their next match against Cape Town Blitz because if they lose this match there is a possibility that they would be out of this tournament.

Cape Town Blitz has lost more matches than the matches they have won. They are second last on the points table with 4 wins and 17 points. They lost their last match against Nelson Mandela Bay Giants by 11 runs.

Bowling First, Cape Town Blitz bowlers gave away too many runs in the beginning of the innings but they were able to break the opening partnership of 136 runs and then they picked up wickets quickly and restricted the opponents to a total of 173 runs. Wahab Riaz bowled extremely well in the absence of Dale Steyn and picked up 3 wickets for just 19 runs in his 4 overs and Magala also picked up 2 wickets in that match. Both the openers Janeman Malan and Quinton de Kock gave a very good start to their chase by scoring 60 and 40 runs respectively but their middle order failed miserably and this led to a defeat by 11 runs. Though the chances of Cape Town Blitz making it to the Eliminator are quite less, they would still want to put up a good fight in their last match against Tshwane Spartans and try to make it to the Eliminator.

Pitch Condition

This track is slightly favorable to the bowlers and helps them pick up wickets but if batsmen play carefully they also have a chance of hitting big scores. There is a 60% chance of rain on the match day at this venue, so the chances of the match being played are less, even though the match is played there would be a reduction in a number of overs being played.
