CTB vs JZS Match Prediction - Nov 14, 2019

The Mzansi Super League 2019 has just started but we are already getting our first return match of the season. Cape Town Blitz and the Jozi Stars played out an incredible opening match of MSL 2019 and are now going to lock horns with each other once more.

This will be the third match for both the sides and a pretty important one as well. Cape Town Blitz lost its previous match to Paarl Rocks by a massive 86 runs and has suffered a big blow to its net run-rate. The Jozi Stars are the defending champions but have lost both the matches they have played. Three losses in a row can be tough to come back from.

Cape Town Blitz vs Jozi Stars MSL T20 is going to be played at Newlands, Cape Town on the 14th of November 2019.

CTB vs JZS Team Previews

Cape Town Blitz

A stunning collapse in the second game against Paarl Rocks saw Cape Town Blitz being bowled out for just 84. It was a really poor performance for a side that had Quinton de Kock, Janneman Malan, Moeen Ali, and Liam Livingstone in its lineup.

Moeen Ali is no longer going to be a part of MSL 2019 since he was roped in as a replacement for just the first couple of games of the tournament. Wahab Riaz and Asif li are expected to be available for selection from this match on.

We think this is a big blow for Cape Town Blitz and could hurt them. Asif Ali is quite overrated and has even lost his place in the Pakistani side while Wahab Riaz can be very good or very bad on any day. The pressure of scoring runs is going to increase on de Kock, Janneman Malan, and Liam Livingstone.

David Beningham or Marques Ackerman are also potential options to be included in the squad.

Dale Steyn had a poor last game and was unable to take a wicket which was a bit of a letdown after his heroics in the opening game. Steyn and Anrich Nortje are going to be crucial to Cape Town Blitz’s success.

Vernon Philander, Sisanda Magala, and George Linde are all decent bowlers but overall, Cape Town Blitz does not have a great bowling attack. The wins have to come from the batting and that has been weakened ahead of this match as well.

Jozi Stars

Jozi Stars have now lost two matches that they would have backed themselves to win in most situations. They had a big chase in the bag against Cape Town Blitz but lost their way at the end. Against the Nelson Mandela Bay Giants, the target was not as imposing but the Stars could just not get the run-rate high enough.

Reeza Hendricks has two fifties from two matches and is looking in terrific form but would be dissatisfied at not being able to provide the finishing touches. Chris Gayle got another start before getting out and while the potential for that one great inning always remains, we seriously question the value of having him in the side at this stage in his career.

The only way that Gayle should play is all-out attack so that he does not end up eating away useful deliveries and making it tougher for the batsmen to follow. Temba Bavuma, Rassie van der Dussen, and Ryan Rickleton all make a formidable batting lineup and would expect better performances from themselves moving forward.

The key to winning this match is going to lie in taking early wickets That is where Kagiso Rabada comes into the picture. As South Africa’s premier fast bowler, he must take the responsibility of striking hard and getting through Cape Town’s strong top-order.

Dane Paterson, Aaron Phangiso, Simon Harmer, Daniel Christian, and Delano Potgieter are the other bowlers in the Jozi Stars bowling lineup. This is a very decent lineup with plenty of international experience and T20 know-how.

Pitch and Conditions

This is going to be the first match being played at Newlands, Cape Town in MSL 2019 and it looks like we are going to have some respite from the rain. Newlands has traditionally been one of the best batting surfaces in the country when it comes to white-ball matches. A lot will depend on the amount of grass left on the surface by the curator come game day.

We are hoping to see plenty of bounce, carry, and a lightning-fast outfield to help the batsmen put on a show. A score of around 180 may be par at this surface.

CTB vs JZS Dream11 Prediction

Dream11 tips and Dream11 prediction for Cape Town Blitz vs Jozi Stars MSL 2019 is going to be focussed on getting as many big-hitting batsmen into the side as possible. These two sides are batting heavy and put up a brilliant exhibition of hitting in the opening match of the tournament. The conditions are expected to be batting once again and so we could have a similar high-scoring match to look forward to. A couple of changes could be seen in the playing eleven of both sides since Moeen Ali has left MSL 2019 and the Jozi Stars have lost both their matches so far.

CTB vs JZS Betting Tips

Cape Town Blitz started MSL 2019 very well but a few concerns have cropped up since then. The first is the lack of success its bowlers have had during the two matches played and the other is the loss of Moeen Ali from the top-order. The Jozi Stars, on the other hand, has played well without being at their best and we think this match could be the start of their season’s revival.

Bet on the Jozi Stars to win.
