SA20 2025: Predicting MI Cape Town’s Playing XI for their clash against Sunrisers Eastern Cape 

Discover the predicted MI Cape Town’s Playing XI as they prepare to take on Sunrisers Eastern Cape. The SA20 2025 season is set to begin with Mumbai Indians Cape Town taking on twice winners Sunrisers Eastern Cape. The first game of the season will be played at the ST George’s Park in Gqeberha which is the home ground of the defending champions. Last year Mumbai Indians Cape Town had a dreadful tournament having failed to qualify for the playoffs. 

This year, MICT has made smart purchases during the auction and has reworked its team. With the likes of Kagiso Rabada and Trent Boult in the bowling department, the MICT side will be the one to watch out for during the course of the season. Even the batting unit of MICT has faced a rejig ahead of the massive season starting on 9th January. 

Here is the likely MI Cape Town’s Playing XI vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape:

Top order 

Ryan Rickelton showed the world what he is capable of with a splendid double ton during the Cape Town Test against Pakistan. The left-handed batter has been a huge revelation ever since his debut for South Africa. Veteran batter Reeza Hendricks has been one of the best white ball players for his side and his recent T20I ton against Pakistan is enough reminder of his talents. 

Middle Order 

Veteran batter Rassie Van Der Dussen has been a consistent scorer in the league and has the game to score big when in full flow. Dewald Brevis was ignored by IPL teams during the recently held IPL 2025 auctions. The young batter can make a name for himself with one good season and also put his name up for national selection. Azmatullah Omarzai can change the game with both bat and ball and will be a key player for MICT this year. 

Lower-order 

30-year-old Corbin Bosch made an immediate impact with the bat and ball during his Test debut against Pakistan. Corbin Bosch bowled with great speeds and also scored a fifty to help his side win the game. George Linde showed his class with the bat and ball during the home T20I series against Pakistan where he showed what a dangerous all-rounder he is. Rashid Khan is a huge name in the T20 format and his variations with the ball can upset any team he is also capable of scoring crucial runs towards the end of the game. 

Tail enders 

The new ball attack of Kagiso Rabada and Trent Boult will play a crucial role for MICT during the coming year. Rabada has been in great form with the ball during the home season. Boult on the other hand has been a huge threat for any batting unit with the new ball in hand in the T20 format. Dane Piedt has been one of the underrated performers in the South African team and the veteran star can outwit any batter with his off-spin bowling.
