Rickelton’s Second SA20 Hundred Lifts MI Cape Town Revival, Intensifies Proteas Selection Questions

The opener now leads the season’s scoring with an unbeaten 113 at the Wanderers.

Overview

  • MI Cape Town beat Joburg Super Kings by 36 runs at the Wanderers, piling up 234/3 as Ryan Rickelton finished 113 not out.
  • Rassie van der Dussen’s 65 in a 129‑run opening stand set the platform before George Linde and Kagiso Rabada took two wickets each to limit JSK to 198/5.
  • The defending champions have two wins from seven league matches, leaving three fixtures to push for a top‑four place.
  • Rickelton became the first player with multiple SA20 centuries and tops this season’s run chart.
  • Proteas chief selector Patrick Moroney said he expected scrutiny over Rickelton’s World Cup omission, and local reporting links the in‑form batter as a potential replacement if injured Tony de Zorzi is ruled out.
