SA20 match 12 review


 The Sunrisers have managed to win back-to-back matches against MI Cape Town after they lost their first 2 matches of the SA20. MI Cape Town will be disappointed with their performance as they lost the opportunity to go 5 points clear at the top of the table. 

The hero of the day for the Sunrisers was Marco Jansen who scored 66 off 27 that included 3 4s and 7 6s at a strike rate of 244.44. Jansen was excellent coming in with the score on 91-5 after 12.1 overs it looked like the Sunrisers were going to lose this match, but he changed it in no time smashing the MI bowling attack that was made up by Rashid Khan, Rabada, Archer and Sam Curran. Rashid was the one to receive the most damage as Jansen smashed 28 runs of his 4th over, the 16th over of the innings which swung the game in the Sunrisers' way. He then took on Rabada and of the last ball of the 17th over he played a shot similar to what Kohli hit against Haris Rauf during India vs Pakistan match in the T20 world cup. 

Roelof Van der Merwe was the star with the ball and in the field taking 2 catches 1 of his own bowling and also finishing with figures of 2-21 in 4 overs. 

MI Cape Town will take positive from the performance of Roelofsen 56 of 36 7 4s and 2 6s at a Strike rate of 155.55, Rickelton 46 of 36 4 4s and 1 six at a strike rate of 127.77, Delano Potgieter 21 of 13 with 1 four and 2 6s at a strike rate of 161.53 and Oden Smith 25 of 13 with 3 4s and 1 six at a strike rate of 192.30. The 4 were excellent with the bat for MI Cape Town and gave them a score that looked like a winning one for most of the chase. 

Archer was excellent for MI Cape Town with the ball as he was the only one who wasn't hit finishing with 1-18 of his 4 overs. 

The match was very entertaining as both teams gave their best with the Sunrisers coming out on top thanks to an excellent inning from Jansen.
