MI Cape Town have won the toss and have opted to bat
This has the makings to be a tight game and here is an interesting point to note, MICT have beaten the Sunrisers in both the league games this season. So they will be really positive about today's contest as well, but the Sunrisers are known for comebacks. They have the experience of winning the title twice so that can't be discounted.
