MICT vs SEC Team Preview & Squads
MI Cape Town
Ryan Rickelton, a reliable left-hand wicketkeeper-batter, has been a consistent performer in the SA20, particularly excelling at Newlands, where he scored 63 runs off 41 balls in his last home match. Rassie van der Dussen, known for his dependable play, will look to put pressure on fielders during the powerplay with effective strike rotation.
Veteran South African cricketer Reeza Hendricks brings vast experience, while Dewald Brevis adds excitement with his aggressive shot-making and impressive ability to hit sixes, having scored three half-centuries in the tournament.
Afghanistan’s Sediqullah Atal provides an unpredictable element with his power-hitting. The all-rounders, George Linde, Delano Potgieter, and Corbin Bosch, offer balance and depth, capable of contributing at any stage of the game. Linde has more than 2000 runs and 180 wickets in T20s, while Bosch has claimed 50 wickets in the format.
Captain Rashid Khan will lead tactically and with his magical leg-spin, having taken two wickets against Durban. The pace attack, led by Kagiso Rabada and Trent Boult, will pose a serious threat to the opposition’s opening batters.
Rabada has taken 24 wickets in the SA20, and Boult, alongside Linde, impressed in their previous home match, taking two wickets and conceding just 36 runs in eight overs.

Youngster Jordan Hermann adds flair and promise, with a memorable century at Cape Town during last year’s SA20. Captain Aiden Markram is the core of the middle order, offering consistency with the bat and his leadership, alongside his part-time off-spin. Aggressive batter Tristan Stubbs demonstrated his adaptability with a measured 37 runs against Joburg.
All-rounder Marco Jansen has provided crucial performances with both bat and ball, having claimed 40 wickets in the SA20.

Gleeson, with 16 wickets in the SA20, and Baartman mix precision and pace, making them key players in slowing the opposition’s run rate in the death overs.
