Pitch Report
Pitch will help bowlers with extra bounce and movement early in the match. Balancing the game with bat, scores in the range of 150-170 are considered to be par scores in T20. As the match progresses, the pitch often tends to slow down, which should be favorable for spinners in the latter half. Because of this pitch-history, the team chasing the target is likely to have an upper hand, especially since the evening dew may help the batting side in the second innings.
Weather Conditions-
It is expected that the weather on Cape Town’s match day will be clear along with temperatures around twenty-two degrees Celsius. The humidity will hover around sixty, and there is no chance of rain, which means it would not be a rain-affected match. Dew on the pitch during the night-time could be an important factor, particularly if the match goes to the last overs, as this would make the toss an important aspect with captains likely to go for bowling first.
Players to Look Out For-
Marco Jansen (Sunrisers Eastern Cape)-Jansen’s swinging ability with the new ball and powerful hitting makes him an all-rounder that may be incapable of being missed. His recent performance during the SA20 was quite a spectacle and a must-have in the Dream 11 team.
Rashid Khan (MI Cape Town)-This Afghan wizard’s leg-spin should prove all the more threatening on this slow track. As captain, he provides another sprinkle of value that may catch the attention of points via strategy. Batting down the order will be another feather to the cap.
Aiden Markram (Sunrisers Eastern Cape)-Markram leads the side from the front with bat and ball. The consistency of scoring and quality needed to put his team in a position to either play the anchor innings or accelerate has put him in the spotlight for consideration.
Ryan Rickelton, (MI Cape Town) After a successful last season, Rickelton would be an explosive opener with the ability to set the tone for Cape Town. His capability to score fast at the beginning may be maximum worthwhile in setting or chasing the score.

Dream 11 Prediction:
Wicket-Keepers: For explosive middle-order batting and keeping skills, I am going with Tristan Stubbs from SEC and Ryan Rickelton JSK, who had a great start in their innings in the form of scintillating runs.
Batters: I have picked Rassie van der Dussen from JSK for class and composure and Reeza Hendricks for rapid runs. Both have had proven success at Newlands.
All-Rounders: Marco Jansen from SEC is my captain, with the ball and bat making a dual threat. Lately, his performances have proved match-defining. Aiden Markram from SEC provides leadership and versatility. Liam Dawson, also from SEC, will add his spin and useful hits from the lower order; George Linde from JSK gives an option for left-arm spin with some attacking batting key in tight situations.
Bowlers: My vice-captain is Richard Gleeson from SEC, banking on his pace and swinging the ball to get early inroads. Then there is Ottneil Baartman from SEC; he complements Richard as he has taken some good wickets in the middle overs. And there’s no way I leave out Rashid Khan from JSK, being with another vice-captain-it’s leg-spin pitch in what could be a very helpful pitch and could turn a game.
This team is selected with the conditions of Newlands in mind; obviously early swing and later turn play a major role here. Jansen and Khan could both be game-changers in such match because of the flexible nature of the team; they can either put big scores according to the situation or chase down reasonable totals. The team, therefore, is an all-rounded and balanced side, ready to adapt to the demands of the match.
