MI Cape Town register the highest total of the season and defend it comfortably

Meanwhile, MI Cape Town opted to bat first after winning the toss and posted the second-highest total in the history of SA20. Ryan Rickelton continued his excellent form smashing 90 off just 45 balls while Dewald Brevis finally got going this season scoring an unbeaten 66 off just 32 balls.

The duo shared 11 sixes between them while skipper Kieron Pollard provided a fantastic finish, smashing 27 runs off only seven deliveries. MI Cape Town posted a mammoth total of 248 runs on the board in their 20 overs hitting as many as 20 sixes in their innings to go with 16 fours.

In response, Kyle Verreynne smashed a century but his heroic knock also came when the Capitals were down and out of the match. However, his majestic knock of 116* off 52 balls made sure that they denied MI a bonus point win. It also saved the net run-rate from being worst for the Capitals.

Thanks to his unbelievable hitting, the Pretoria Capitals could reach 214 runs in their 20 overs and despite that, they lost by 34 runs.
