Mzansi Super League 2019, Cape Town Blitz vs Paarl Rocks: Predicted XIs, match prediction and live telecast details
After trouncing the defending champions in their previous match, Paarl Rocks will look to continue their winning momentum when they lock horns with the second-placed Cape Town Blitz in match number 15 of Mzansi Super League 2019.
The Rocks had started their MSL 2019 campaign on a bright note as they had registered an 86-run victory against Cape Town Blitz. Though they could win only one of their next three matches, Faf du Plessis' men will look to repeat the same performance against Blitz.
On the other side, Quinton de Kock and co. will try to forget their previous match against Paarl and enter the field with a fresh mindset. They had lost their last fixture to the Nelson Mandela Bay Giants but, the Cape Town-based franchise will look to cement its second spot on the points table with a stellar performance against the Rocks.
Talking about the players to watch out for, the Paarl fans will expect James Vince to continue his magnificent form with the bat while the onus will be on Tabraiz Shamsi to take the wickets for the Rocks.
