SA20 Final Preview: MI Cape Town vs. Sunrisers EC

Sunrisers Eastern Cape have secured their place in a third straight SA20 final. They will take on a star-studded MI Cape Town at the Wanderers.

The Sunrisers Eastern Cape are on fire, storming their way into their third consecutive SA20 final! They’re set for an epic showdown with the powerhouse MI Cape Town at the legendary Wanderers.

Already boasting two SA20 trophies in their cabinet, the Sunrisers EC have once again hit their stride when it matters most.

The table-topping MI Cape Town defeated the Paarl Royals in their previous match. The in-form Ryan Rickelton scored 44 runs from 27 balls. On the other hand, Dewald Brevis remained unbeaten on 44 from 30 deliveries. The star bowler Kagiso Rabada took 2 wickets for 18 runs. They are determined to finally hold the title.

SA20 Final: Key Players

Keep an eye on Rickelton and Rassie van der Dussen, who have been in superb form with the bat this season for MI Cape Town. Van der Dussen sits second in the tournament’s run-scoring table with two fewer games played than first-placed Lhuan-dre Pretorius (Paarl Royals) and Sunrisers EC’s Aiden Markram.

Markram is another player to watch with the bat for this game. However, there are some dangerous bowlers in the MI Cape Town attack, including Delano Potgieter and Rabada himself.

Head-To-Head & Betting

MI Cape Town will feel emboldened by their two previous wins in the two matches against the Sunrisers EC this season. They beat them by 97 runs early in the season and then by 10 wickets later on.

In their most recent fixture, David Bedingham’s knock of 45 runs off 45 balls offered, at least some hope to the embattled Sunrisers.

The Sunrisers have been in a strong run of form now but for those looking to place a bet via Easybet, MI Cape Town seemingly appears to be quite the favourites for what should be a supremely entertaining game whichever way it goes.
