MI Cape Town is arguably the best team in the tournament. Before the auctions, they signed Rashid Khan, Liam Livingstone, Kagiso Rabada, Sam Curran and Dewald Brevis. After the auctions, they hired Jofra Archer as the wild-card pick. Hence, we can expect the New Lands stadium to be set on fire by this squad. Here, we look at the pitch report of New Lands and the weather conditions in Cape Town for SA20 2023.
Apart from the signings made outside the auction, MI Cape Town also had a decent outing in the bidding event. They hired players such as Rassie van der Dussen, Duan Jansen, Odean Smith and Beuran Hendricks, who would further strengthen this squad. Rashid Khan will captain this squad. A lot will be expected from this franchise because of the stars on the roster. Simon Katich will be the Head Coach of this side. It needs to be seen how they would perform in the first edition of SA20.
