Pitch Report

It is a 73m hit down the ground. 66m on the off-side, square boundary is 57m. There's a bit of dryness, it's a newly laid soil but it's firm and does have more bounce. Batters will look to target the shorter side of the ground, it's a terrific wicket though. It does change under lights which is one of the reasons why Markram chose to bowl first.

Commentary

That brings us to the end of our coverage for this match. With that it is time for Darpan Tikiya and Pradeep to sign off. Join us back tomorrow at 4:30pm local time [8:00pm IST] for the match between Durban Super Giants and Pretoria Capitals. Goodbye for now!

The perennial underperformers of SA20 kickstart their campaign in some style. Never before today had MI Cape Town beaten Sunrisers Eastern Cape. But tonight, they put in a domineering performance, earning themselves not just the victory but also a bonus point. They will hope to carry the momentum forward and sustain it deep into the tournament. For the two-time defending champions, this match was nothing short of a nightmare. It will be interesting to see how they recover from this going ahead. After all, that is what quality sides are expected to do.

Scroll below to read the detailed summary of how the action unfolded. ⬇️

Delano Potgieter is the Player of the Match, here is what he has to say: "It happened so quickly, I don't know what to say. I guess it is lovely and I took it as it come. This was the first time I bowled for MI Cape Town in two seasons. I just tried to keep it simple, tried to hit the top of the stumps and it went alright. I came into bat in the 17th over, so did not have much to think. I tried to get as many as I could."

Rashid Khan [MI Cape Town captain]: "Perfect start for us in T20, this is the kind of start in any kind of tournament you need. We had couple of bad seasons, but the way we started here is good. Couldn't have asked for a better show from the guys. Brevis can change the momentum of the game in no time, he has delivered earlier but he's done it for us today, amazing to see how he hits the ball. I feel you always need to get a good start. Boult is someone, his experience helps, he set the tone for the run chase. Special bowler, special guy, he hasn't bowl much. He waited for long, so happy for him. It's all about how he's adjusted on this wicket, job well done."

Aiden Markram [Sunrisers Eastern Cape captain]: "Fair to say that unfortunately. Tough day around, nice moments for us in the field, but we allowed them to get to 170, that's the T20 cricket. We'll have to have good conversations, quick tournament and quick turnaround, will need to come up better. It was pleasing to see that, didn't think we needed to do any better or fancy. Credit to the bowlers for bowling well in the first six. Fortunately, we took the gambles here and there. Sometimes you get it right, sometimes you don't, I'm not the one who takes the credit. Brevis played really well. The odd over there hurt us, we allowed them to get to 170, it was a score sometime you could end up chasing here."

Time for the post match presentation.

MI Cape Town win by 97 runs and earn a bonus point too.

St. George's Park was drenched in orange, all set for a carnival tonight. The fans of the two-time defending champions had packed the stands as well as the grass banks to their capacity a good half an hour before the first ball of the contest was delivered. With the band playing its melodies and the DJ blasting some fine tunes, it sounded like a party at the beginning. However, it ends with grave, deafening silence reverberating around the ground.

Not many expected the Sunrisers to be mauled in this fashion. After all, they had never lost to MI Cape town in the history of SA20 before this. Even the start was a laudable one. They pegged the visitors back with three early wickets. However, a blistering knock of 57 from Dewald Brevis and late order cameos from George Linde and Delano Potgieter saw MICT get to a good score in the end.

It was in the second innings that calamity hit the orange army. Trent Boult set the tone with a double wicket maiden. He had an able ally in Azmatullah Omarzai who took the new ball from the other end. Sunrisers were derailed early. Though, they were spurred on constantly by the fans for a fightback. Captain Markram even put up a semblance of fight. But it all fell apart pretty soon when Delano Potgieter got the ball in his hand. The all-rounder picked up a fifer within just 18 balls and ensured that his team kickstarted the season with not just a win but a bonus point as well.

14.6 Delano Potgieter to Richard Gleeson, OUT! IT'S A FIFER FOR POTGIETER! MI Cape Town thrash Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the tournament opener. Delano Potgieter's all-round performance has helped them register a win of the first game. Back of a length on the stumps, Gleeson has a wild hack across the line and misses, clips the top of middle and off. Potgieter is stormed by his teammates as he's been outstanding all night!

Richard Gleeson b Delano Potgieter 0 (2b, 0x4, 0x6)

14.5 Delano Potgieter to Richard Gleeson, STIFLED APPEAL FOR LBW! Would've been missing leg. Length delivery, angled into leg-stump. Gleeson plays across and misses, pings on the pad.

Potgieter is searching for a fifer.

14.4 Delano Potgieter to Simon Harmer, back of a length outside the off-stump, Harmer swipes it down the ground to long-on for one.

That brings no. 11 Richard Gleeson, RHB, to the crease.

All that this innings was missing was a runout! Rashid Khan's brilliance in the field provides us with one.

14.3 Delano Potgieter to Simon Harmer, RUN-OUT! DIRECT-HIT! MICT are excited that they've got their man. Umpires goes upstairs to check this. Replay confirms that Jansen is well short of his crease and with the Sunrisers hopes go down the drain too.

Full outside the off-stump, Harmer slams it down the ground, was in the air and falls just short of Rashid who dives, but manages to stop it. Rashid then gets up, picks it up and darts it into the stumps as Jansen finds himself short!

Marco Jansen run out (Rashid Khan) 14 (9b, 2x4, 0x6)

14.2 Delano Potgieter to Marco Jansen, length delivery outside the off-stump, Jansen sits on one knee, belted it flat to long-off, takes a quick single.

14.1 Delano Potgieter to Simon Harmer, back of a length on the off-stump, Harmer walks down the wicket to work it into the on-side, but gets a leading edge to backward point for a quick single.

A couple of boundaries in that over spurred the crowd on. They haven't yet left their seats and are indeed hopeful of some more entertainment.

13.6 Rashid Khan to Marco Jansen, that's a wrong'un, turned sharply back into the batter. Jansen went back to heave and misses, pings on the thigh pad.

Finally, something for the fans draped in orange to cheer for! They had gone very quiet.
