Teams Preview
Nelson Mandela Bay Giants
The dugout of Nelson Mandela Bay Giants must be filled with a sense of satisfaction and excitement for the way they carried themselves this season. The team defeated the defending champions twice in this tournament.
In their very first encounter, they defeated JS by 24 runs at home, while at Johannesburg they thrashed the Stars by 9 wickets, chasing down 109 in just 9.1 overs. Their game against Tshwane Spartans was washed out after 7.1 overs play.
After that, NMBG won 3 consecutively games to remain unbeaten in the tournament so far.
First, they crushed Jozi Stars in an away game, bowling them out for 108 and then chasing down the target in 9.1 overs with 9 wickets in hands. At Port Elizabeth, they defeated Cape Town Blitz by 5 wickets while 187 runs. In the preceding game, they chased down the target of 161 runs against Durban Heat, thanks to Chris Morris (10 balls 22 runs), who fetched 17 off the last over after Roy’s half-century to win the match for the team by 5 wickets and 1 ball remaining.

Paarl Rocks
Paarl Rocks have won 3 games in this tournament so far, and lost just once against Tshwane Spartans, while their one game at Durban was washed out due to the rain.
The Rocks registered a massive win in their initial game against Cape Town Blitz as they bowled out the Blitz for 84 runs after posting 170 on the board batting first. Their bowlers disappointed in the second home game, against Tshwane Spartans, as they failed to defend a very good total of 185 runs and James Vince knock of 53 balls 86 was overshadowed by the player of the match Elgar. The bowlers could just remove two wickets as most of them conceded more than 10 runs per over.
They bounced back in the next game against the defending champions and restricted them just under 130 in 20 overs. Rocks eventually won the game by 4 wickets in 16.1 overs. To make it a double, Davids’ 33 balls 46 and Pretorius’ 16 balls 29 powered the team to 163 in 20 overs batting first against CTB, which was later defended narrowly by the bowlers’ collective efforts. Udana saved the team as he defended 12 required off the last over, and he gave no more than 9. Fortuin, Shamsi, and Udana equally shared 6 wickets among them, while Viljoen and Pretorius grabbed 1 wicket each.
Faf du Plessis (230 runs in last 9 innings) is the key batsman for Paarl Rocks along with Cameron Delport (172 runs in the last 9 innings). Tabraiz Shamsi is the leading wicket-taker as he took 13 wickets in the last 9 games.
Paarl Rocks Actual Playing XI:
Sibonelo Makhanya, Faf du Plessis, Henry Davids, Tabraiz Shamsi, Mangaliso Mosehle, Ferisco Adams, James Vince, Isuru Udana, Hardus Viljoen, Bjorn Fortuin, Cameron Delport

Venue Details
The match is scheduled to be played at St George’s Park, Port Elizabeth.
Toss Prediction
On this ground, 3 T20I have been played, out of which the teams batting first and second have won once, and 1 game was abandoned without a ball bowled. Out of 8 MSL games played here so far, 4 times the teams batting first have won, on 3 occasions the chasing team won, while 1 game was abandoned. It is a good surface to bat first after winning the toss.
Winning Prediction
The clash is between the table toppers and hence a good fight is expected from both the ends. Even in the last season, both the teams won 1 game against each other, and in MSL 2018 points table, the two teams were separated by just 1 point.
However, Nelson Mandela Bay Giants seem to have more match-winners, also, it is a home game for NMBG. Looking at overall statistics and this year’s performances, Nelson Mandela Bay Giants seem to have a slight edge.
Our prediction is that Nelson Mandela Bay Giants would defeat Paarl Rocks!
