The Cape Town Blitz will try to avoid their fourth defeat in a row when they take on the Tshwane Spartans at Newlands in the 2019 Mzansi Super League. The Spartans should be slight favourites as form favours them while AB de Villiers has shown signs of his best over the last two matches.

Cape Town Blitz Form


After an impressive start to the season the Cape Town Blitz momentum has come to a crushing halt. They lost their third game in a row against the Durban Heat at Newlands last time out.

The Blitz batted first and once again Janneman Malan performed admirably scoring 75 runs. Malan is now clear at the top of the run scoring charts for the 2019 Mzansi Super League. At 4.50 he represents great value to be the Blitz's best batsman.

Malan’s innings took the Blitz to a total of 181 runs which should have been defendable against a Durban Heat side who had yet to win a game. Unfortunately the Blitz’s bowlers failed to produce their best once again and the Heat chased the score down with three balls to spare. Dale Steyn was the pick of the bowlers taking 2-25.

The Blitz can be backed at 2.00 to turn around their fortunes and get their first win in four matches.

Cape Town Blitz News


The Blitz may feel like they need changes in the bowling department but their options are limited. Vernon Philander has not bowled well but he has produced a couple of cameo’s with bat in hand. I won’t be surprised if Anrich Nortje comes in for Pakistan international Wahab Riaz.

Tshwane Spartans Form


Tshwane Spartans made a slow start to the season but have come alive in their last four matches. One was rained out but they were well on their way to victory in that one while they have won the other three.

AB de Villiers scored 69 runs as the Spartans comfortably chased down the Paarl Rocks score of 126 runs at Centurion in their last outing. This followed his 53 runs against the Jozi Stars in the prior match.
He is tipped to be the Spartans best batsman at 2.87.

The Spartans are favourites at 1.80 and with three wins from their last three completed matches I am back them at those odds.

Tshwane Spartans News


No one has been particularly consistent in the run scoring this season with various individuals contributing at different times. Youngster Tony de Zorzi is however waiting in the wings and could get in ahead of Theunis de Bruyn for this clash.

Cape Town Blitz vs Tshwane Spartans Match Up


The Cape Town Blitz bowling unit has struggled this season with only Dale Steyn putting in performances of note. Against a very strong Tshwane Spartans batting line-up which includes the destructive AB de Villiers could mean trouble for the Cape franchise.

Post bet analysis

Janneman Malan scored 36 runs but unfortunately it wasn't the highest score. AB de Villiers also only go the second highest score while the Blitz went on to win. Disappointing day on the betting front.
