SA20 match one review

MI Cape Town have started off the SA20 with a bonus point win against Paarl Royals. The MI Cape Town team led by Rashid Khan showed why they are the favourites to win the inaugural SA20 as their strong bowling lineup put in an exceptional performance as restricted the Paarl Royals to 142 in their 20 overs. The Paarl batsman struggled apart from Miller and Buttler nobody else got going and that meant that the Royals were always behind the game.

The MI Cape Town opening pair of Brevis and Rickelton had no problem during the chase as they set up the chase with an opening stand of 90 in 10.4 overs before Rickelton was out-bowled for 42. Brevis and Rickelon punished the Paarl bowlers who gave them any room to free their arms and once they were in, they took control of the match and imposed themselves on the bowlers not letting the bowlers settle at any stage during the chase. Brevis ended the match not out on 72 as MI Cape Town won by 8 wickets.

Below is a pic of MI Cape town 2 explosive openers:

The Paarl Royal's bowling attack was not threatening at all and I'm sure with Ngidi back for the next match and bringing in Corbin Bosh and Even Jones could do the trick. They also need to have a look at the make-up of their batting lineup and look to strengthen it if they are to challenge the teams in this tournament. They do have so good options available on the bench so hopefully, they find their best soon.

MI Cape Town will be happy with this performance considering they still have Rabada and Livingstone on the bench who could come in and have a big impact in matches to come. MI Cape Town have found a very strong team combination as they not only bat deep but also have 8 bowling options with this combination, and it shouldn't change even if Rabada and Livingstone return to the starting 11.
