SA20 2025 SEC vs MICT: MI Cape Town had a thrilling victory, beating the champions by 97 runs on the latter’s own turf. The match is certainly one that Delano Potgieter will remember for a long time, given that he took his bowling to remarkable heights with an impressive spell of 5/10 in 3 overs, which made MI Cape Town claim the bonus point, as Sunrisers never looked to be anywhere close to making it a challenging chase.
Being in command just got redefined. A 97 run victory in our first match of the season💥

Brevis Lit Up The Stage
The pitch was challenging, offering movement with the new ball, variable bounce, two-paced play, and grip that made batting difficult. Earlier in the evening, Dewald Brevis played a superb knock to anchor MI Cape Town’s total. Potgieter also contributed with the bat, blasting a quickfire 25 off just 12 balls, adding to the team’s dominance.

What ‘Player Of The Match’ Said
“I don’t know what to say. It was lovely. I guess I’ll just take it as it comes, it was lovely. This is the first time I’ve bowled for MICT in three seasons. I just tried to keep it simple to be honest. Just tried to hit the top of the stumps, and it was working tonight. Only came in the 18th over so I did everything I could to take the score up (with the bat)”. said Delano Potgieter
