MICT Team News
There was one change for MI Cape Town ahead of their last game with with Nealan van Heerden replacing Delano Potgieter in the side. And as van Heerden picked up a wicket in a winning side, we expect him to retain his place in an unchanged XI on Saturday.
MICT Key Players
- Ryan Rickleton - The top order batter is the leading run scorer in the tournament and comes into this game looking to hit the same group of bowlers for another 15 boundaries!
- Dewald Brevis - The 20 year old batting all-rounder has picked up his form over recent games and scored an impressive 66 not out from 32 balls on Thursday.
- Nuwan Thushara - The Sri Lankan got all three of his dismissals by bowling the batters in the last game. Pretoria’s batters will be very wary of facing him again in this match.
- Kagiso Rabada - After going wicketless from his previous game, the South African international star had two wickets inside the first five overs of the innings against the Capitals.

Theunis de Bruyn came into the team for Colin Ingram on Thursday but was part of a middle order which crumbled round Kyle Verreynne. Although we expect de Bruyn to retain his place in the side, we do also anticipate that Ingram will return.
