Kyle Verreynne has created a sensational wave in the world of SA20 cricket. He rose like a phoenix on the cricket field, achieving a groundbreaking score of 116 runs — a record that has not yet been matched. Despite this extraordinary showcase of his skills, it did not prove to be enough to rescue the Pretoria Capitals from a 34-run defeat at the hands of MI Cape Town at the Centurion stadium.
The audience was privileged to witness Verreynne’s astonishing 52-ball feat that was akin to a lightning bolt, producing seven boundaries and nine sixes. In a whirlwind innings, he surpassed the previous record set by Faf du Plessis, the skipper of Joburg Super Kings who had scored an unbeaten 113 in the inaugural season. Verreynne put up a solitary fight, preventing MI Cape Town from capturing the invaluable bonus point when the Capitals’ score was a mere 42 for the loss of six wickets.
The game turned out to be a horror show for the bowlers as the two teams smashed a record-breaking total of 32 sixes over the boundary. This high-octane performance by both teams carved a new record in the chronicles of SA20 cricket.
MI Cape Town’s Ryan Rickelton, who is leading the tournament in terms of runs, and Rassie van der Dussen set the pitch ablaze with a rapid-fire 64-run opening partnership. Their display reinvigorated MI Cape Town’s batting order, which had been relatively quiet in recent matches. Rickelton, with his flawless technique of hitting the ball, showcased a splendid innings of 90 runs off just 45 balls.
The action didn’t end there. Dewald Brevis continued the onslaught by contributing an unbeaten 67 off just 32 balls. This was followed by quick cameos from Kieron Pollard and Sam Curran, who completed the innings. However, the evening proved to be a nightmare for Daryn Dupavillon, the Capitals’ seamer. He set an unwanted record, giving away 73 runs, the worst figures in SA20’s history.
MI Cape Town’s seamers, Kagiso Rabada and Nuwan Thushara, adjusted well to the batsman-friendly conditions at Centurion, exhibiting a faultless bowling performance. But the star of the evening was undoubtedly Verreynne, who led a magical innings that boosted the Capitals’ total to 214 for the loss of eight wickets.
The teams are set to battle again at Newlands on Saturday. Both MI Cape Town and Pretoria Capitals are aiming to secure a place in the final playoff of the SA20 season two. They are hoping for the Joburg Super Kings to be defeated by Durban’s Super Giants, the log-leaders. The atmosphere is brimming with suspense as the teams gear up for another exciting face-off in the history of SA20 cricket.
