SA20 2023, Match 9, Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs MI Cape Town: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

MI Cape Town and Sunrisers Eastern Cape are set to face each other in Match No.9 of the SA20 2023 on Saturday, January 14. The match will take place at St George's Park in Gqeberha.

Cape Town, captained by Rashid Khan, are sitting pretty at the top of the points table with nine points and a net run rate of 0.658. After losing to the Durban’s Super Giants, they made a stupendous comeback by beating the Joburg Super Kings by seven wickets on Saturday.

Kagiso Rabada became the Player of the Match after he finished with figures of 4-0-12-2. He got the crucial wicket of Reeza Hendricks after which the Super Kings could never recover. But Cape Town are set for a new challenge as they will be playing for the first time outside their home.

The Sunrisers, led by Aiden Markram, on the other hand, have struggled to get going in the tournament. Having lost both matches, they are languishing at the bottom of the points table with a net run rate of -1.500, the worst among the participating teams in the tournament.

They lost both their matches at the hands of Wayne Parnell’s Pretoria Capitals. It remains to be seen if they can bring a change in fortune with a change in opponent.
