MI Cape Town triumphed over Sunrisers Eastern Cape to secure their first Betway SA20 title, showcasing a dominant performance led by Kagiso Rabada's exceptional bowling.
Like a runaway train there was no stopping MI Cape Town as they dethroned the Sunrisers Eastern Cape to win their maiden Betway SA20 title at rousing Wanderers on Saturday evening.
Throughout the competition the focus has been on MI Cape Town’s fearsome batting unit. But their bowling unit, led by the irrepressible Kagiso Rabada , was the big difference on the night.It was Rabada that struck the initial blow by removing David Bedingham early on before Linde and Rashid spun a web around the Sunrisers’ potentially dangerous middle-order.
After winning the toss and electing to bat MI Cape Town had earlier raced out of the starting blocks with Ryan Rickelton and Rassie van der Dussen taking the attack to the famed Sunrisers bowling attack. Two more sixes of Rickelton’s flaying willow in Jansen’s follow-up over saw MI Cape Town reach fifty without loss in just the fifth over.
