SA20 2025: Predicting MI Cape Town’s playing XI for their clash against Pretoria Capitals

Check out the predicted MI Cape Town’s playing XI for their SA20 2025 clash against Pretoria Capitals. After securing a playoff qualification with a massive 10-wicket win against SEC in the last game, the MI Cape Town (MICT) will take on the Pretoria Capitals (PC) in their next fixture. The 27th game of the ongoing SA20 2025 will be played at the SuperSport Park in Centurion on January 31, at 9:00 PM (IST). 

Rashid Khan-led MICT are placed in the second spot on the tournament standings, with five wins and only two defeats in their seven games. They are coming off three wins and only one defeat, alongside a ‘no-result’ game in the last five games. 

Given that, we’ll look at the predicted MI Cape Town’s playing XI for their next clash against Pretoria Capitals:

Openers

Rassie van der Dussen

The star in-form opening pair of Rassie van der Dussen and wicketkeeper-batter Ryan Rickleton played a decisive role in MICT’s 10-wicket success against the Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the last game. The duo managed to stitch an unbeaten and match-winning opening partnership of 110 runs in just 11 overs. 

Ryan Rickleton scored 59 runs off 36 balls, with eight fours and a six, alongside Van Der Dussen’s 48 runs off just 30 balls, with 4 fours and two sixes. So, the MICT management will look ahead to go with the unchanged opening pair in their next game against the Capitals. 

Middle Order

Reeza Hendricks

The middle order of the MI Cape Town will start with the number three batter Reeza Hendricks followed by Colin Ingram at the number four. Both batters can convert a good start from the openers in the initial half of the innings. 

Dewald Brevis is also there to follow the lineup at number five, his hard-hitting abilities might help MICT post a big total on the board with a quick acceleration in the middle overs. Delano Potgieter can also add some crucial runs in the lower middle order during the middle or death overs. 

All-Rounders

Corbin Bosch

Star in-form all-rounder Corbin Bosch left everyone awestruck with his sensational bowling performance in the last game against the Eastern Cape. He scalped 4 wickets at just 19 runs in 3.2 overs. Bosch also won the ‘Player of the Match’ award for his amazing performance in MICT’s favour. 

Bosch will team up with his fellow teammate and all-rounder George Linde, who bowled the most economical spell of the entire game in the previous MICT vs SEC clash. Linde conceded only 10 runs in his three overs with an amazing economy rate of 3.33. Both the all-rounders can also play a crucial role with the bat for their side in the next clash against the Pretoria Capitals. 

Bowlers

Rashid Khan

The bowling attack of the MI Cape Town will include the skipper Rashid Khan as a specialist spinner. He scalped 1 wicket at just 24 runs in his four-over spell during the previous game. Rashid will be accompanied by the veteran pacers Trent Boult and Kagiso Rabada. 

Kagiso Rabada bowled an amazing spell against SEC, scalping 2 wickets at just 14 runs in his three overs. On the other hand, Boult also claimed a wicket at 25 runs in his four-over stint.
