Rassie scored 40 runs off 32 balls, hitting three boundaries and two sixes. The umpires had to change the ball as it went out of the park with the monstrous hit. Maphaka tried to bowl a full length delivery outside the leg stump, but van der Dussen flicked the ball over the deep mid-wicket. It wss a 91 meter six.

It was Paarl Royals' decision to bowl first in a high intensity game. Openers Ryan Rickelton and Rassie van der Dussen wreaked havoc on the bowlers from the start of the innings. While Rickelton scored 44 runs off 27 balls, including four boundaries and two sixes, van der Dussen scored 40 runs.

Dewald Brevis' stunning performance led MI Cape Town to 199 runs

While the wickets kept tumbling at a certain point, Dewald Brevis and Delano Potgieter held their calm and helped the team set a solid total on the board. Brevis scored 44 runs off 30 balls while Potgieter scored 32 runs in 17 balls. It was a wonderful batting performance by both players who looked settled on the crease. 

Now, the Paarl Royals will have to chase down 200 runs in 20 overs to go straight to the finals or else MI Cape Town will enter the finals with a terrific win.
