PR vs CTB Dream11 : Cape Town Blitz head out with aspirations of making it two wins on the bounce and taking an early lead in the opening exchanges of the league

Even before the second season of the premier league was conceptualised, one side who looked to be overwhelming favourite for the glistening trophy were Cape Town Blitz. It was courtesy of the massive pile of South African star performers which the side had ingrained in their unit, player well versed with the playing conditions and names who know just what it takes to succeed on the biggest stage of them all.
The side were quick to lay down the marker for their aspirations of winning the trophy as well with a pleasing to the eye performer with the bat yesterday against Jozi Stars in the league opener. They piled on a gargantuan 213-3 while batting first, a target which was always going to be improbable for their opponents to get around and despite the best of their efforts, they ended up falling short by 15 runs at the end of the day.
As they get ready to play their second clash come today against Paarl Rocks, the side will be looking to resonate the same ravishing and alluring performance as they embark on registering two straight wins. Paarl Rock thrived blatantly in the opening edition of the league, one where they ended up making it all the way to the eliminator before they were eventually bundled out rather unfortunately as rain made an advent and saw their group position leaving them famished in their quest.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
This is relatively decent wicket to bat on with their being ample movement for the pacers early on but once you settle into your groove, the ball is easy to crunch and hit on the sweet spot. The batters should do reasonably well here overall with the side winning the toss set to come out and bat first today.

PR vs CTB Dream11 Wicket-Keeper
With 1,108 runs in 38 T20 matches, Cape Town Blitz’s wicket-keeper, Quinton de Kock is being bought into our side for this encounter. The opener is always capable of piling on a big score and up against a bowling unit devoid of wordclass bowlers, we envision him adding good points to our Dream 11 outfit.
PR vs CTB Dream11 Batsmen
With a massive score of 99 for the side yesterday, Janneman Malan has been brought into our side for this encounter as ur first option. The player played a meticulously crafted innings, one which saw him spare no expense in finding the boundary and lay down the foundation of his team breaching the symbolic milestone of 200.
From Paarl Rocks meanwhile we are choosing their captain Faf du Plessis with the player having scored 1,363 runs in 44 T20 matches with the destructive and explosive Cameron Delport accompanying him for this encounter.
PR vs CTB Dream11 All-Rounders
Playing his final match of the tournamnet, Moeen Ali is ur first option in this docket of our side given the player’s elevated role. While he holds an escalated batting spot, his four overs of spin will thrive fruitfully on a track where the ball will stay low and grip to turn squarely.
The aforementioned narrative sees us stick with Geroge Linde as well from CTB for this encounter with his left hand brand of spin set to leave a right hand heavy batting unit of their opposition flabbergasted. Liam Livingstone comes in as well from the side as we opt for an all Cape Town Blitz facet with the player someone who can tear apart any bowling unit with his fiery brand of strokeplay.
PR vs CTB Dream11 Bowling Order
With three wickets for him yesterday, new ball bowler and death overs operator, Dale Steyn is being made our first pick in this facet of our side. Sisanda Magala comes in as well after he dutifully sent in a restrictive spell, one which saw him send down the ball in all the right channels to move it both in and out from the batsmen.
From Paarl Rocks meanwhile we have ventured in with a duo as well with us opting for a seamless blend of pace and spin in the form of Hardus Viljoen and Tabraiz Shamsi.

Janneman will be our unit’s captain for the pertinent encounter while Moeen is selected as the vice-captain.
