MI Cape Town Beat Sunrisers to Keep SA20 Playoff Bid Alive

Now on 14 points, the defending champions face a must-win in Gqeberha with qualification still out of their hands.

Overview

  • MI Cape Town chased 140 to win by three wickets at Newlands, closing it out with four balls to spare.
  • Trent Boult struck with the first ball and finished with 3-28, while Corbin Bosch led the cleanup with 4-34.
  • Reeza Hendricks anchored the chase with 41 off 43, supported by George Linde’s 31 off 18 and Kieron Pollard’s 20 off 14.
  • A no-ball from Senuran Muthusamy in the final over handed Bosch a free hit that sealed the result.
