MI Cape Town won the toss and opted to bat first. Rickelton and Dussen opened for MI. Both batsmen were seen struggling. Rickelton scored 17 runs in 18 balls. Dussen scored  14 runs in 11 balls. Pooran has played T-20 cricket across the globe, but sometimes plays like a test. Pooran scored 17 runs with a strike rate of 68 runs.

Reeza also played like Pooran, but with a strike rate of just 75. After the top 4, no other batsman crossed the double-digit score. Nqobani Mokoena bowled an economical spell with 2 wickets. Ottneil Baartman also took 2 wickets with an economy rate of 3. Sikander Raza took 4 wickets. Mujeeb took 1 wicket.

Boult wants to defend this total; he clean bowled the Lhuan on the 3rd delivery. Rabada bowled a maiden over. MI fans get some hope. But the Asa Tribe hit 15 runs in Boult’s 3rd over. 

Defending 88 and 15 runs in an over, break all hopes in an over and exactly this happened. Paarl Royals scored 46 runs in Power Play. Rubin Hermann got out by Corbin Bosch. Rashid Khan also got the dangerous Asa Tribe, but the match was already finished. Miller won the game with a six. Everyone was betting on MI Cape Town, but Paarl Royals shocked the experts.
