MSL 2019: Match 29, Tshwane Spartans vs Cape Town Blitz – Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

Match Details:

The 29th match of the Maznsi Super League 2019 will be played between Tshwane Spartans and Cape Town Blitz at the SuperSport Park in Centurion.

The match starts at 2:00 PM local time (12:00 PM GMT) (5:30 PM IST). The game can be viewed on Sony SIX and Sony SIX HD. Live streaming available on Sony LIV and Fancode in India.

Preview for Dream11 Fantasy:

The competition for the top-three spots in the MSL 2019 is getting quite intense. With just one game left for each of the six teams, they are all fighting hard to get through. In one of these battles, it will be the Tshwane Spartans who will be up against the Cape Town Blitz. By losing their last game against the Nelson Mandela Bay Giants, the Blitz have made it tough for themselves to make it into the knockouts.

Thus, their chances are in jeopardy at the moment and they will have to depend on the results of a few other games. For the Spartans, four of their games were washed out due to rain. As a result, they are hanging on the edge with the help of the thin thread and will have to win this at all costs. Cape Town Blitz surely have an upper hand between these two teams as they have managed to defeat the Tshwane Spartans in all the three MSL games they played so far.

Weather Report

The rain has been following the Tshwane Spartans wherever they go. In Centurion, in particular, the rains have been absolutely relentless and the forecast isn’t great for the next four to five days either. On Sunday, thunderstorms are predicted and this could potentially impact the chances of both these teams making it into the knockouts.

Pitch Condition/Report:

There hasn’t been a whole lot of cricket played in Centurion in this edition of the league. The pitch here isn’t that bad for the batsmen. Good application and cautious batting against the new ball is required while playing here.

Average first innings score: 126 (Only completed game at the SuperSport Park in MSL 2019)
