SA20 2025 Predicting MI Cape Town’s Playing XI for their clash against Paarl Royals

MI Cape Town’s Playing XI began their SA20 2025 tournament with a massive win over defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape. The margin of win was a massive 97 runs as Delano Potgieter did the damage with the ball picking 5/10 from his three overs. This meant that Aiden Markram and his side were all out of 77 in chase of 175 to win.

The next match for MI Cape Town is against Paarl Royals and it will be a huge encounter considering the talents Paarl has in their line-up. Rashid Khan will know what his team needs to do when they take on the Royals in their next match to keep the momentum going in the season.

Here is the likely MICT XI vs Paarl Royals

Top order – Rassie Van Der Dussen, Reeza Hendricks

Veteran batter Rassie Van Der Dussen and Reeza Hendricks will open the batting for MICT. Both batters can score runs at a quick pace with Van Der Dussen in particular, who can play unorthodox shots to unsettle the bowlers. Hendricks on the other is a clean striker of the ball and can change gears according to the situation.

Middle Order – Connor Estherhuizen, Colin Ingram, Dewald Brevis

MICT will hope that their wicketkeeper and batter Connor Esterhuizen can show the same enterprise with the bat as he has so far. Veteran Colin Ingram began the season well with his knock of 22 that gave MICT the much-needed cushion against the SEC side. The best batter for MICT was none other than Dewald Brevis who scored 57 runs off 29 balls to finally show his true talents with the bat.

Lower-order – George Linde, Omarzai Azmatullah, Rashid Khan

Veteran all-rounder George Linde began well with the bat and also has done well with the ball. MICT’s hopes will be banking on Linde to continue with the efforts considering his vast experience. Afghan pair Azmatullah Omarzai and Rashid Khan began the tournament poorly but have all the talents to bounce back in style.

Tail enders – Trent Boult, Delano Potgieter, Corbin Bosch

Trent Boult was his accurate self and has been doing the damage with the new ball in the T20 formats for a long. Corbin Bosch has the pace and accuracy to unsettle some of the best batters in the world. The 30-year-old can also use the long handle making him a key asset to the side. The star of the show has been Delano Potgieter who batted well in the latter half and picked the season’s first fifer.
