Pretoria Capitals is the favorite to win this match.
It will be a match between two successful teams from the tournament. The Royals need to make the most of their batsmen in order to take advantage of their powerful batting lineup. The team’s bowlers, meanwhile, haven’t been in the best of form. A more evenly-matched team with multiple all-around players is the Capitals. They participate in the game at home, which makes them the favorites to win.
