The Joburg Super Kings continued their winning streak with a convincing 76-run victory over MI Cape Town at the Wanderers on Monday evening. The victory earned the Joburg Super Kings a bonus point and solidified their position as they head into the Betway SA20 semi-finals. The win was made possible by Leus de Plooy’s 81 not out and a strong performance by Matthew Wade, who contributed 40 runs off 18 balls.
MI Cape Town’s season, however, came to a disappointing end with their loss to the Joburg Super Kings. Despite starting off well with the ball, picking up three wickets in the Powerplay, their batting was unable to capitalize on a good start and the team ended in last place in the competition. While Simon Katich’s team will reflect on a few close finishes that could have changed the outcome of their season, they will need to focus on improving for the next season.

Overall, the Joburg Super Kings can look forward to their semi-final match with confidence, while MI Cape Town will need to regroup and work on improving for the next season.
