END OF OVER:
20 | 23 Runs | MICT: 171/6 | RR: 8.55

  • Odean Smith25 (13b)
  • Sisanda Magala4-0-49-1
  • Ottneil Baartman3-0-21-2

Danyal will be back for the chase. Stay tuned.

Roelof van der Merwe says they had a decent start, pulled it back a bit in the middle, good effort. Wicket played better back in the end, says chasing might be the right move. We were under pressure going in on the back of two losses last game, great performance the other day. Just need to chase this down now.

3:05pm: Potgieter and Odean take MI Cape Town to a decent score after the collapse after the second wicket. The stand was 48 off 23 could be the difference-maker. The spinners, though, were on top. Roelof van der Merwe and Ottniel Baartman took four wickets between them. Markram chipped in too. It looked to have undone the good work done by Ryan Rickelton and Grant Roelofsen, who added a 102. But the late runs give Rabada and Archer some cushion to go after the batters.

PietSkiet: "Very happy for Delano Potgieter, very underrated player that gets minimal chances, but almost always produce."
