MI Cape Town: SA20 delivered a batting bonanza with the two Western Cape teams MI Cape Town and Paarl Royals completing fantastic run chases.

Ater missing a couple of matches, Ryan Rickelton returned to the MI Cape Town line-up and the Season 2 leading run-scorer made an immediate impact with a fabulous 89 off only 39 balls to power the home team to a seven-wicket bonus point victory over Joburg Super Kings, while Joe Root delivered a T20 masterclass to steer the Paarl Royals to an equally thrilling victory by eight wickets over Pretoria Capitals at Centurion.

The ‘El Clasico’ at a sold-out Newlands lived up to all its pre-match hype with the faithful treated to some high-octane cricket.
