Magala took 2-22 in 4 overs and Markram 2-8 in 2 overs.

Markram was the Star of the night as he added to his contribution with the ball by scoring 50 off 35, including 7 4s at a Strike rate of 142.85. Markram's performance was tremendous as he led from the front and took his team to their first victory in the competition.

Below is a pic of Markram last night's man of the match.

MI Cape Town Goerge Linde was the star with the bat for them as he got them to a competitive total of 158-8. He scored 63 off 28, including 4 4s and 5 6s at a strike rate of 225. Linde efforts were not enough as the MI Cape Town could not defend the total. The match did get close as it went right down to the last over of the match.

The pitch was on the slower side, but the match was very entertaining as the battle between bat and ball was amazing to watch.
