Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs MI Cape Town Predictions

Defending champs the Sunrisers have been on a great winning run, but it ended after a thrilling three-run loss to the Capitals. MI Cape Town have been in superb form but two unlucky losses have left them stuck in fourth place on the table.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape Form

The Sunrisers’ three-match winning run ended when they lost to the Capitals by three runs.

The Capitals were bowled out for 125 off 18.3 overs, Marco Jansen returning the superb figures of 3/27.

The Sunrisers lost early wickets and were always behind the asking rate, but a late rally by Tristan Stubbs (35) and Liam Dawson (29*) took them through to a thrilling finish that they almost clinched off the last ball.

Sunrisers will be hoping that their top-order batters all start contributing again.

The Giants posted 157/6 off their 20 overs, George Linde (2/15) returning the best figures for MI Cape Town.

MI Cape Town’s top order collapsed again, with only Sam Curran (38) making a substantial contribution with the bat as they struggled to 121/9 off their 20 overs.
