Remarkable effort from MI Cape Town

This breakthrough triggered a swift succession of three more wickets, bringing Kieron Pollard and Sam Curran to the crease.

The duo showcased resilience by constructing a 53-run partnership, bringing their team within striking distance with 26 runs needed off the last two overs.
