MICT vs SEC Match Preview:
MI Cape Town entered the tournament with great expectations, yet they struggled to convert opportunities. As the campaign progressed, they managed only two wins from eight matches and consequently slipped to the bottom of the points table.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape, meanwhile, showed more balance in their lineup. They approached the game with composure, turned the pressure moments in their favor and ultimately won four out of eight matches, helping them climb to second place in the standings.
Thus, the difference between the two sides reflects contrasting levels of execution and consistency. While MI Cape Town struggled to find rhythm, Sunrisers Eastern Cape maintained consistent performances and remained firmly in the race for the top spot.
