Nelson Mandela Bay Giants host the Tshwane Spartans in the 2019 Mzansi Super League eliminator. It is a winner takes all and I believe the smart money is on the Giants with Ben Dunk and the Spartans’ AB de Villiers offering value in the run-scoring markets.

Nelson Mandela Bay Giants Form


The Giants finished second on the table which ensured them a home eliminator against the third placed Spartans. In their last match the Giants were beaten by the table-topping Paarl Rocks in Paarl.

The hosts batted first and posted a total of 168 runs as only Heino Kuhn (58) and Ben Dunk (27) really got going. The Giants eventually fell 12 runs short of the total which put them in the eliminator.

Ben Dunk has shown some incredible form with scores of 45, 34, 99, 75 and 27 runs in his last five innings. He should continue to be backed to be the Giants best batsman.

The Giants form is far superior and they are tipped at 1.80 to win.

The Giants won’t make any drastic changes to the side that has performed so well. Ben Dunk will continue to open the batting while Heino Kuhn cemented his pace with a 50+ score last time out.

Tshwane Spartans Form


Tshwane Spartans have been far from spectacular this season and made the playoffs with only three victories from their 10 matches. The Spartans were helped along with five no result matches for which they gained two points each, that includes their last two fixtures against Jozi Stars and Cape Town Blitz.

Despite the Spartans average season, star batsman AB de Villiers has been in fantastic form with scores of 54, 69, 31 & 63 in his last four innings. I am tipping him to be the Spartans best batsman.

Tshwane Spartans News


The Spartans gave Tony de Zorzi and Wiaan Mulder an opportunity to open the batting in their last fixture. Both performed admirably with 30 and 52 runs respectively, I can see them keeping their places.

Nelson Mandela Bay Giants vs Tshwane Spartans Head to Head


Nelson Mandela Bay Giants and Tshwane Spartan met twice this year, the first match was rained out before the Giants won by six wickets at St Georges Park. The Spartans posted 188 runs but a brilliant 99 runs by Ben Dunk took the Giants home with two balls to spare.

Nelson Mandela Bay Giants vs Tshwane Spartans Betting Odds


The Giants are favourites at 1.80 with Spartans even money at 2.00. In a tight contest there is always value elsewhere and I am looking at the run-scoring markets. 

The Giants' Ben Dunk is valued at 4.00 to be their best batsman with AB de Villiers the favourite at 2.50 to be the Spartans Best Batsman.

Nelson Mandela Bay Giants vs Tshwane Spartans Match Up


Imran Tahir has been key to the Giants success this season with some scintillating bowling spells. I believe the match could be won by Tahir. 

If the likes of AB de Villiers can dominate Tahir’s leg spin then the Spartans will be in with a great shout.
