MICT vs PR, SA20 2025 Preview
MI Cape Town have been the team to beat this season. Finishing at the top of the table with seven wins, they’ve been a dominant force. And if their last match is anything to go by, they mean business. They absolutely demolished Pretoria Capitals by 95 runs, showing why they’re serious contenders for the title.
Sediqullah Atal and Connor Esterhuizen led the charge with blistering fifties, helping MI post 201/5. Then, it was Dane Piedt and Thomas Kaber who ran riot with the ball, picking up three wickets each and bundling out PC for just 106 in 14 overs. MI Cape Town will look to bring the same energy into the playoffs and punch their ticket to the final in style.
On the other hand, Paarl Royals were sitting pretty at the top for most of the season but they lost their grip towards the end, finishing second after back-to-back defeats. Their last game against Sunrisers Eastern Cape was one to forget.
They did well with the ball, restricting SEC to 148/8, thanks to Bjorn Fortuin, Mitchell Owen, and Eshan Malinga, who bagged two wickets each. But their batters completely fell apart, managing just 100 all out. With the stakes sky-high, they need to shake off the rust, fire on all cylinders, and bring their A-game as it’s now or never.
