In the sixth match of SA20 2025, MI Cape Town faced Paarl Royals at Newlands Stadium. After winning the toss, MI Cape Town decided to bat first but struggled to get a good start. Opener Ryan Rickelton was dismissed early, scoring just 8 runs.

Rassie van der Dussen and Reeza Hendricks steadied the innings with a crucial partnership of 79 runs for the second wicket. Van der Dussen scored 43 runs off 33 balls, while Hendricks smashed 59 runs off 37 balls. Their partnership provided a strong base, but things went downhill after they were dismissed. The middle order collapsed, putting pressure on the team to finish well.

One of the most talked-about moments of the match was MI Cape Town’s decision to push Dewald Brevis lower in the batting order. The management’s move to fit a left-hand and right-hand combination in the middle order did not go well with fans. Many criticized this decision on social media, as Brevis, a young and in-form player, was unable to play his natural game.

Let’s take a look at fans’ reactions:

Dewald Brevis eventually scored 14 runs off 9 balls before being dismissed by Dayyaan Galiem. It was Delano Potgieter who saved the team’s innings with a quick 29 runs off 18 balls. Thanks to his knock, MI Cape Town managed to post a total of 172/7 in 20 overs.
