Paarl royal

MI Cape Town: MI Cape Town booked their first-ever appearance in a SA20 final with a clinical 39-run victory over the Paarl Royals in Qualifier 1 at St George’s Park.

The opening batters Ryan Rickelton (44 off 27 balls) and Rassie van der Dussen (40 off 32 balls) laid the platform for the imposing 199/4 with an impressive 87-run opening stand in just 9.2 overs.
