Overview
- MI Cape Town chased 140 to win by three wickets at Newlands, finishing with five balls to spare to stay mathematically in contention.
- Reeza Hendricks anchored the pursuit with 41, George Linde struck 31, and new recruit Kieron Pollard added a 20-run cameo after Trent Boult (3/28) and Corbin Bosch (4/34) restricted Sunrisers to 139/9.
- Marco Jansen top-scored for Sunrisers with 42 and took 2/23, yet a late overstep by Senuran Muthusamy handed Corbin Bosch a decisive free hit to seal the result.
- MI Cape Town missed the bonus point, which confirmed Pretoria Capitals in the playoffs alongside Paarl Royals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape.
- Sunrisers had already qualified, though the defeat dents their top-two push, while MI face a must-win return fixture in Gqeberha and need Joburg Super Kings to falter to have a path to the playoffs.
