SECvMICT Report: Clinical, ruthless, perfect start to the season!

By MI Cape Town Media

Yeah, that’s what we were talking about. Against the two-time defending champions, against a side that has dominated this rivalry in the past, we’ve given this 2025 campaign a dream start. 

A solid batting performance in some bowling-friendly conditions, a superb finish at the death, and then skittling the opposition out for a mere 77. Let’s run through the proceedings, shall we?

Oh, the Delano delight!

It indeed was his game through and through. As if a 12-ball 25 wasn’t enough to pump MI Cape Town up to a strong 174-run finish at the death, he strode in to bowl, and very casually pocketed a FIFER as well. Three wickets in the first five ball, and two in the subsequent two overs. He triggered a collapse and there was no coming back for the Sunrisers Eastern Cape. 

Boulty kicks it off in typical style

How’s a double-wicket maiden in your first outing for the side to set things up? That’s what Trent Boult does for a living. Sending Zak Crawley and Tom Abell off consecutive deliveries, he ensured MICT had their grip on the game, and the bowling lineup ensured it never slipped out. 

The DB show

He’s a star and tonight, he was the showman. Six sixes and two fours in his 29-ball knock of 57 to signal his form and his intentions for this year’s SA20, Dewald Brevis was in the zone. Despite a slight wobble in the batting, he ensured the scoring rate always stayed strong. 

Right, Kaapstad, it’s just the start we were hoping for. This sets the momentum rolling, and as we go on to Jo’burg to take on the Super Kings, it sets up our season perfectly..
