Topmost Picks for PR vs MICT Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Paarl Royals

• Jos Buttler- the 33 year old keeper-batter has top scored for Paarl Royals in the last two games and he is looking back to his best.
• Obed McCoy- the tall and powerful left-arm pace bowler can often be expensive as he targets wickets over anything else. His T20 strike-rate is 15.2.

Top Picks – MI Cape Town

• Rassie van der Dussen- the right-hander is another batter in fantastic form at the top of the order for MI Cape Town. He has hit 41 runs in both of his last two innings.
• Kagiso Rabada- the right arm fast bowler is consistent, fast and always has the ability to dismiss any top batter. He dismissed the free hitting Jason Roy in the last game.

PR vs MICT Probable Winners:

Following Friday’s one-sided match, the fixture calendar has resulted in these two teams meeting again very quickly, and MI Cape Town will be looking to build on that momentum in this match. We expect the Paarl Royals to be tough opponents, particularly given Jos Buttler’s form, but we believe MI Cape Town will win a close game on Sunday. Considering the team combination, MI Cape Town is expected to win this match.
