Mi Cape Town Smash Sunrisers And Reach Sa20 Playoffs For First Time

East or west, MI Cape Town were best as the home team crushed the Sunrisers Eastern Cape by 10 wickets in a crucial bonus-point victory at the Newlands Cricket Ground on Wednesday.

The match was set up to be a colossal tussle for the second spot on the log between the provincial neighbours.

But in the end, the Western Cape side easily clinched a berth in next weeks Qualifier 1 at St Georges Park at the expense of the Sunrisers, which marked MI's first progression to the SA20 playoffs.

MICT won the toss, and with the Sunrisers top-order batting frailties front and foremost in their minds, they asked the visitors to take the first strike.

It was a call that paid handsome dividends as the rapid Corbin Bosch grabbed wickets at the top, middle and end to finish with four for 19 to send the Sunrisers crashing to 107 all out.
