MI Cape Town has come out as the best team of the tournament so far, with one game to go. They have played 9 matches, winning 6 of them, and with one ending in no-result. With 30 points and a superb net run rate of +2.128, MI Cape Town topped the points table and will mostly go into the playoffs as the table toppers.
MI Cape Town did not start the season well. They lost 2 of their first 4 games. But in the last 5, they managed 4 wins with a game getting washed out against Durban's Super Giants. They were unlucky in the washed out game against the Super Giants who have won only one game so far out of the nine played this season. It was perhaps the easiest game for MI Cape Town but unluckily it had to be abandoned due to rain.
MI Cape Town's biggest win in of runs came in the very first game when they defeated Sunrisers Eastern Cape by 97 runs. Batting first, MI Cape Town scored 174 for 7. In defense, Delano Potgieter took 5 wickets for just 10 runs in 3 overs to derail the Eastern Cape's batting lineup as they were bundled out for just 77 runs. Trent Boult took 2 for 16 as well to help MI Cape Town get a big win first up.
Amid a few 7-wicket wins, MI Cape Town defeated the Eastern Cape in the second encounter of the season by 10 wickets. Bowling first, MI Cape Town bundled Eastern Cape for just 107 runs. Corbin Bosch took 4 wickets for 19 runs and was well ed by Kagiso Rabada who took 2 wickets for 14 runs. MI Cape Town got over the line without losing a wicket as Openers Rassie van der Dussen and Ryan Rickleton scored 110 in just 11 overs.
In the previous encounter against the Capital at Centurion, MI Cape Town amassed a peak total of 222 for 3, batting first. Richard Hendricks and Deval Braves scored valuable 70s. In defense, Corbin Bosch and Rashid Khan took two wickets each to help restrict Pretoria Capitals for 27 runs short of the target.

Pretoria Capitals campaign in SA20 2025 has been one of the losses and washed-out games. They have played 9 matches so far, winning just 2 of them, with 2 ending in no result and 5 ending in defeats. With 14 points and a net run rate of 0.044, Pretoria Capitals are in the 5th place in the points table and look practically out of the playoffs race with just one game to go.
Pretoria Capital started the season with a couple of games against Super Giants. The Capitals lost the first one by two runs, and the second one was abandoned due to rain after the toss. Pretoria Capitals s their first victory in the 3rd game against Eastern Cape by 6 wickets. Facing a target of 115, they got over the line with 6 wickets and 4 overs to spare. Earlier, Daryn Dupavillontook 3 wickets for 32 runs. The next game was a washout for the Pretoria Capitals against the Super Kings. The game washed out after Pretoria Capitals completed their innings for 138 for 8.
In the next three games, Pretoria Capitals faced three consecutive defeats against Royals by eight wickets, against Eastern Cape by 52 runs, and against Royal once more by 11 runs. The 8-wicket loss to Pall Royals would hurt the most, as Pretoria Capitals themselves scored 212 batting first for the loss of 5 wickets. Will Smeed speed top scored with 54 of just 34 balls. Defending the big total, Pretoria Capitals failed to take regular wickets as the Royals got over the line with 8 wickets to spare.
In the previous game, Pretoria Capitals were up against the current opponent's MI, Cape Town. They launched the game by 27 runs, which was yet another high-scoring encounter. Chasing a big total of 223, Pretoria Capitals managed 195 for 8 in 20 overs. Will Smeed yet again was the top scorer with 52 of 36 balls. Pretoria Capitals need a win and a few bonus points to have a chance of making it to the playoffs. But at this point, it seems very difficult against a team like MI, Cape Town.

If we look at the T20 International's history at this venue, about 66% of the games have been won by the teams batting second. There seems to be some help for the bowlers early on in the match. The team winning the toss should bowl first here.
This is a game between table-toppers MI Cape Town and Pretoria Capitals who are 5th among the 6 teams in the points table. MI Cape Town have won 6 games out of the 9 they played whereas Pretoria Capitals managed just 2 wins in the 9 games with 2 no-results. The Capitals having already qualified for the playoffs would like to win this to maintain the momentum going into the playoffs and they are in with a great chance against an underperforming Pretoria Capitals. We believe it should be an easy win for MI Cape Town in this encounter.
We predict that MI Cape Town will defeat Pretoria Capitals.
