    "editor1": "MI Cape Town: Kyle Verreynne rewrote the SA20 record books with the highest ever score of 116 not out, but it was not enough to prevent the Pretoria Capitals from falling to a 34-run defeat to MI Cape Town.\n<p>Verreynne enthralled the Centurion crowd with a 52-ball innings that included seven boundaries and nine sixes, to better Joburg Super Kings\u2019 captain Faf du Plessis\u2019s 113 not out from Season 1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He single-handedly prevented MI Cape Town from claiming the invaluable bonus point on offer after the Capitals were reduced to 42\/6 in their pursuit of the visitors\u2019 mammoth 248\/4.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Centurion certainly was a batter\u2019s paradise on the night, with a new league record match aggregate of 32 sixes struck.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The competition\u2019s leading run-scorer, Ryan Rickelton, and Rassie van der Dussen (21 off 9 balls) set the tone for the evening with a rapid 64-run opening stand for MI Cape Town in only five overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The MICT opening pair rediscovered their touch after going quiet in recent matches after a blitzkrieg start to Season 2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rickelton was certainly back to his best with the left-hander striking the ball sweetly again as he plundered 90 off just 45 balls (10x4, 5x6). It was Rickelton\u2019s third score within the 90\u2019s in Season 2 along with an 87.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dewald Brevis also came to the party with 67 not out, off only 32 balls (3x4, 6x6) before Kieron Pollard (27* off 7 balls) and Sam Curran (22* off 12 balls) delivered the finishing touch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Capitals\u2019 seamer Daryn Dupavillion suffered the misfortune of conceding the worst figures in SA20 history of 1\/73.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>MI Cape Town's seamers Kagiso Rabada (2\/32) and Nuwan Thushara (3\/37) then showed their class by adapting to the batting-friendly conditions before Verreynne took control with a spellbinding innings to get the Capitals up to 214\/8.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The two sides will meet again at Newlands on Saturday with MI Cape Town (13 points) and Pretoria Capitals (10) both hoping for a Joburg Super Kings (13) defeat to log-leaders Durban\u2019s Super Giants in order to give one of them an opportunity of clinching the final playoff spot on offer in Season 2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n",
