MI Cape Town fell to a heavy 52-run defeat by the Pretoria Capitals in their SA20 match at Newlands on Monday.
Capitals opener Will Jacks hit his third fifty of the tournament as they set their opponents a target of 183 for victory. His blistering innings of 62 off just 27 balls seemed to set the Capitals for a total in excess of 200 as they raced to 88/1 in seven overs.
Chasing 183 to win, Ryan Rickelton was dismissed for 11 before Dewald Brevis and Sam Curran put on 36 runs together but couldn't convert the start into big knocks. Brevis smashed 46 off 30 deliveries, including a couple of his trademark no-look sixes, before he was caught off Anrich Nortje’s bowling.
The game was the last of MICT’s home fixtures and with three away games left, they occupy the last of the playoff places in fourth position on the table, with 13 points from seven games.
