MI Cape Town Vs Joburg Super Kings LIVE Score, SA20: Rickelton's Quickfire Fifty Sets Strong Foundation For MICT

ꦰEvan Jones delivers a full ball outside off, and Ryan Rickelton, in superb form, effortlessly drives it over long-off for a six. He doesn’t force the shot, letting his hands flow through the ball as he adds another maximum to his tally. The over concludes with a hefty 26 runs.

🌠Rickelton brings up his fifty with a classy drive, looping the ball down to long-off. What a knock it’s been—he reached the milestone in just 29 balls. Now, MICT will be hoping he stays at the crease to take them through.

MICT 122/1 (13)

ꦆShamsi serves up a short, wide ball to Hendricks, who smashes it inside-out over extra cover for a stunning four! The delivery, a wrong'un, was too short and wide, and Hendricks made the most of it, freeing his arms to send the ball flying.

MICT 86/1 (9)

💃Shamsi delivers a leg-side ball, which van der Dussen tucks off his pads for a quick single. However, Jonny Bairstow reacts swiftly, gathering the ball and firing a precise throw to the stumps. Van der Dussen is caught just millimeters short, leading to a brilliant run-out.

MICT 71/1 (6.5)

🧸Ryan Rickelton played a magnificent shot off Ferreira, driving a full delivery well outside off through cover-point for a boundary.

MICT 31/0 (3.2)

ꦉFerreira opens the bowling attack as the chase begins with van der Dussen and Rickelton at the crease, van der Dussen on strike. The first delivery is blocked for no run. Ferreira follows up with a short ball, which van der Dussen nudges to long-on for a single.

ওJSK have posted a solid total, thanks to an explosive start from openers Faf du Plessis and Devon Conway, who put together a 97-run partnership in just 11 overs. A brief collapse, with 4 wickets falling for just 9 runs, seemed to put them in a tough spot.

♍However, Jonny Bairstow’s unbeaten 43 off 27 balls steadied the ship and ensured the momentum remained intact. Now the question remains: is this score enough to secure the top spot? Miller will return shortly as the chase begins.

🉐Jonny Bairstow stands strong and scares MI Cape Town bowlers as he smashes Corbin Bosch for a massive six. Bosch delivered a full ball with pace off, but Bairstow expertly timed it, sending the ball soaring over wide long-on for a big six.

𓄧Leus du Plooy mistimes a big shot and is caught by Rashid Khan. He departs for 5 off 7 balls, as Linde claims the wicket.

JSK 105/3 (13)

Rashid Khan stepped up for Corbin Bosch, and the team can finally breathe a sigh of relief as Faf du Plessis, who had just brought up his half-century, departed. The ball was thumped straight into the hands of long-off, where the skipper Rashid Khan made a well-judged low catch.

🌌Faf couldn't quite get under it as he aimed for another big hit down the ground, but it landed flat and was easily gathered by the fielder, who had only a short sprint to make the catch. One skipper out, another catches.

JSK 98/1 (11.1)
