With just a week left in the SA20 League phases, there is now a mad dash to make it to the final four. MI Cape Town are in horrendous form and needs a win to keep their hopes alive in the tournament. Defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape meanwhile, need a win to get one step closer to the final four stages.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SUNE) are coming into the game after losing their last game to Pretoria Capitals. It was a heartbreaking loss as the defending champions couldn’t score four runs off two balls to seal the deal.
MI Cape Town(MICT) is on a two-match losing streak after their win over Paarl Royals. Kieron Pollard will be particularly disappointed with the batting displays in the last two games. The game against Sunrisers has come at the worst moment for MI with the champions recently facing defeat.

SUNE vs MICT – Pitch Report
In the current batting form that MI Cape Town are showing, Gqeberha is the last place they would want to play. The only solace for Kieron Pollard and his side is that it is a day game. The pitch has offered lots of bounce and pace for the seam bowlers and there has been movement as well. The skipper winning the toss will bowl first keeping in mind the history of the ground.
