In the ongoing match of SA20 2025, MI Cape Town posted a total of 158/4 in their 20 overs, with Rassie van der Dussen being the standout performer. Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, van der Dussen’s patient 91-run knock helped his team reach a challenging total.
Rassie van der Dussen was the star of MI Cape Town’s innings, remaining unbeaten at 91 runs off 64 balls. His knock included five boundaries and five sixes. The innings began with the dismissal of Azmatullah Omarzai for 13 runs, caught behind by Dinesh Karthik off Dayyaan Galiem’s bowling.
Reeza Hendricks (30 off 27) also played a useful knock but was dismissed by Mujeeb Ur Rahman. MI Cape Town’s middle order also fell quickly, with George Linde (10 off 10) and Dewald Brevis (8 off 4) both getting out to Root and Mujeeb respectively.
Despite these setbacks, van der Dussen held his ground, supported briefly by Delano Potgieter (2* off 5). Their partnership added crucial runs in the final overs to take the team to a total of 158.
Bowling Efforts from Paarl Royals
Paarl Royals’ bowlers, including Mujeeb, Dayyaan Galiem, and Root, did well to break the partnership and keep MI Cape Town in check.
Mujeeb was particularly impressive, taking two wickets for 27 runs in his four overs. Galiem and Root also contributed with wickets, but van der Dussen’s determined effort ensured that MI Cape Town had a respectable score on the board.
With 158/4 on the board, MI Cape Town will now look to their bowlers to defend this total and challenge Paarl Royals in the second innings.
