Preview:
Mpumalanga will be lock horns with Tuskers in the Pool B match of the CSA T20 Cup 2021 on Tuesday. Mpumalanga were placed in Pool C in the CSA Provincial T20 Cup 2019/20, where they finished fourth in the standings with 5 points. Having won only one of their matches, they failed to qualify for the next stage.
Tuskers, on the other hand, were the runners of CSA Provincial T20 Cup 2019/20, having lost to Easterns in the final by a mere 5-run margin. Prior to that, they finished second in the Pool B standings with 13 points. By looking at the other paper, Tuskers are a well-balanced side compared to the Mpumalanga and they still don’t want to take things for granted.
