MI Cape Town will be glad with the result against the Durban Super Giants in the last game and would want to seal their spot in the SA20 playoffs for the first time ever. A couple of losses and a rained-out game hasn't helped their momentum as it has been a stop-start campaign for them but a win here would do them a lot of good, especially against the two-time defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape, who have just started to get some form.
MICT defeated the Sunrisers in the tournament opener by 97 runs but that team was very different from what it is now. That team lost three matches in a row and then came back to win four in a row. The Sunrisers are coming off a loss against the Joburg Super Kings in the last game but will believe that they have still in themselves to not just go through into the playoffs and even attempt a three-peat.
The Sunrisers have had their issues with the bat. Yes, in a couple of games, the individual performances carved them out but they still haven't gotten a collective performance with the bat and with the destiny in their own hands, it might not be a bad time to move up on the ladder against a form team, who have most of the bases covered.
