For the 27th fixture of the SA20 2025 season, Pretoria Capitals will face MI Cape Town on January 31, 2025. The clash will be held at SuperSport Park in Centurion from 9.00 PM IST.

Pretoria Capitals

Pretoria Capitals are on the cusp of getting eliminated from the SA20 2025 season’s playoff race. They are seated in the bottom two sections of the points table with 2 wins in 8 games. However, their 6-wicket victory in the previous game against Joburg Super Kings was inspiring. 

Gideon Peters, Senuran Muthusamy and Migael Pretorious delivered terrific spells to restrict JSK to 99 in the first inning. Moreover, MJ Ackerman’s 39 off 22 balls powered the Capitals to a comfortable victory in 12 overs. However, the elimination threat still looms as the Capitals must keep the winning momentum intact.

MI Cape Town

MI Cape Town have qualified for the playoffs for the first time in SA20 league history. They beat defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape in a one-sided contest to seal a playoff berth. Corbin Bosch scalped 4 wickets while conceding 19 runs in the first innings to bowl out Sunrisers to a small total of 107 runs. 

In addition, Rassie van der Dussen and Ryan Rickelton unleashed carnage in the chase to claim a 10-wicket thumping victory. While Dussen scored an unbeaten 48 off 20 balls, Rickelton hammered 59 off 36 balls to wrap up the chase in just 11 overs. Hence, with nothing to lose, MI Cape Town will likely pose a big threat to PC in the upcoming game.
