MICT were blowing hot and cold until they hit breeze and took off midway to record five successive wins leading into today. Rickleton and RvD have been run-scoring banks, while the likes of the Brevis, Linde have been putting their hand up for some responsibility as well. They will be happy with KG Rabada getting back in the wickets after a lean run. Boult has been there while Rashid Khan too turned on the heat come the business end. Corbin Bosch has been a big boost with the ball as he's been consistently getting wickets.
Welcome to the grand final! The Sunrisers want to make it a hat-trick, while MI Cape Town, who missed out twice despite having good teams on paper, want to get their hands on that trophy for the first time. Aiden Markram has led his side so well. They have been the team to beat. A solid batting unit, defined roles, and bowlers who can find ways to get breakthroughs. And they will be absolutely thrilled that Tony de Zorzi, who was having a very quiet time, came to the party right before the final.
