Sunrisers Eastern Cape take on MI Cape Town in Match 29 of the SA20 2026 at St. George’s Park in Gqeberha on Sunday, January 18, 2026.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape have already qualified for the knockouts, but a three-wicket loss against MI Cape Town in their previous outing dented their hopes of finishing in the top two. SEC will look to reverse that outcome today and leapfrog the teams at the top.
MI Cape Town, meanwhile, remain rooted to the bottom of the table despite their last win. MICT are still mathematically in contention for qualification, but need to win tonight’s game with a bonus point. Furthermore, they will need Paarl Royals to beat Joburg Super Kings.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs MI Cape Town, SA20 2026: Captains Speak
Tristan Stubbs (SEC): "We're going to bowl. We're not sure with the wind what a good score will be and feel like chasing will be a good option. Not too much different. Just about doing basics well for a long period. We've got Green in for Gregory."
Nicholas Pooran (MICT): "Toss is really important but we have no control. Would've bowled first as well. It's a fresh pitch, lovely atmosphere. We have messed it up a couple of occasions. It's been a challenging tournament and we're happy to have the opportunity to play a good game. Takes time definitely. Doesn't mean if you have a team of superstars, you're going to win a tournament. Same team."
