- Rutherford smashed 47 not out off 15 with six sixes, then took 4 for 24 in three overs to derail the chase; Keshav Maharaj led MI Cape Town’s bowlers with 3 for 28.
- Brevis finished 36 not out off 13 at a strike rate near 277, a sharp response after two low scores despite his record SA20 auction fee.
- Wisden reports Rutherford as the first in T20s to combine a 45-plus score at a 300-plus strike rate with four wickets, and as SA20’s first to hit five sixes without a four in an innings.
