MI Cape Town in menacing form

PLAY-OFFS: HAVE MOMENTUM HEADING INTO QUALIFIER

- Wesley Botton

Building momentum ahead of the play-offs, MI Cape Town extended their lead at the top of the log and dumped Pretoria Capitals out of the race yesterday, closing out the league stage of the SA20 campaign.

The hosts dominated with bat and ball, earning a convincing 95-run victory over the Capitals at Newlands, completing the first round with a seven-point lead at the top of the table.

The Capitals, who had a chance of progressing if they won with a bonus point, ended fifth in the standings and were eliminated, while Joburg Super Kings secured the remaining place in the final four.
