It's time for action in the SA20 2025, where MI Cape Town (MICT) are awaiting SunRisers Eastern Cape (SEC) for Match 25. The game will take place at the Newlands, Cape Town, on 29th January from 9 PM IST.

MI Cape Town

Rashid Khan-led MI Cape Town have been doing well this year, unlike previous seasons where they finished last consecutively. However, this time, they are inches closer from booking their spot in the playoffs. With four wins in their kitty from seven games where one of them was abandoned, MI are second on the table with 21 points. They have been playing seriously well with previously a victory over Durban's Super Giants by seven wickets, courtesy of Ryan Rickelton's 41-ball 63, where he was very well supported by George Linde's 26 quick runs off eight balls.

SunRisers Eastern Cape

On the other hand, SunRisers Eastern Cape are placed third on the table with 19 points, which consists of three bonus points from eight games with four wins. Coming here after a disappointing game against Joburg Super Kings, SunRisers lost their four-match winning streak after losing to the opposition by nine wickets with six overs to spare. The Orange Army were knocked over for just 118, with David Bedingham being the highest scorer with 48 runs from 40 balls, while Tristan Stubbs's 37 from 38 balls highlighted their struggles where five batters couldn't even put a run on the scoreboard.

These two sides last met in the opening game of this year's SA20, which was played at St Geroge's Park in Gqeberha on 9th January, where the visiting side MI Cape Town registered their first-ever victory against SEC in the history of the tournament, and that too came by a hefty margin of 97 runs.

MI batted first and posted 174 with the help of Dewald Brevis's 57 from 29 balls and Delano Potgieter's cameo of 25 runs. However, things took a drastic turn for SunRisers as Potgieter returned with the ball to pick up a fifer for just 10 runs, rolling the opposition out for a paltry 77.
