MI Cape Town Form
MI Cape Town have been superb this season and rightfully topped the table. They lost just two of their 10 games and beat their opponents for this final twice convincingly.
In the first qualifier, MI Cape Town faced off against Paarl Royals in Gqerberha. Batting first, Ryan Rickelton scored 44 runs while Rassie van der Dussen added 40 and Dewald Brevis 44 in a 199 total.
While MI Cape Town have batted well this season, they have an exceptionally good bowling side. They held the Royals to 160 to secure their place in the final with Trent Boult, Kagiso Rabada, Corbin Bosch and Rashid Khan all taking two wickets each.

MI Cape Town are likely to remain unchanged for this final.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape Form
The Sunrisers Eastern Cape return to the SA20 final for the third successive year. They have won the first two editions of the tournament and will now be aiming for a hat-trick of titles.
It did not look like it would end this way when the Sunrisers started the season with three defeats. They have, however, since bounced back to show some superb form. They defeated the Paarl Royals in the final qualifier.
Chasing 175 in a knockout game is never an easy task but Tony de Zorzi led the way with 78 runs and Jordan Hermann scored an unbeaten 69 to lead the Sunrisers to an eight-wicket win with four balls to spare.

The Sunrisers have been playing well so I don’t see them making any big selection changes ahead of the final.
Verdict
MI Cape Town are backed to win the SA20 final against the Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Ryan Rickelton is tipped to top score for them while Tony de Zorzi is backed in the same market for the Sunrisers.
