Tue Jan 21 22:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Rain Washes Out Durban Super Giants vs MI Cape Town Clash; MI Cape Town Claim Top Spot
**DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA** – Incessant rain forced the abandonment of the SA20 2025 match between the Durban Super Giants and MI Cape Town at Kingsmead Stadium today, leaving the Super Giants rooted to the bottom of the table. Only 11 overs of play were possible before the downpour, marking the second abandoned fixture for the home side.
MI Cape Town, electing to field first after winning the toss, restricted the Super Giants to 69 for 3 at the end of the 11th over. Ryan Rickelton provided a brief spark with early fireworks, helping the Super Giants reach 49/1 in the Powerplay. However, the introduction of spin bowling stifled their momentum. Keshav Maharaj conceded only six runs in his two overs after the Powerplay, claiming the wicket of Reeza Hendricks, while Noor Ahmad bowled a wicket-maiden in the 10th over. Rassie van der Dussen top-scored for MI Cape Town with 35*.
The rain arrived in the 11th over and did not relent, preventing any further play. The abandonment resulted in a no-result, but the single point awarded to MI Cape Town for the washout propelled them to the top of the SA20 2025 standings based on net run rate. The Durban Super Giants remain winless.
