MI Cape Town's pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada delivered a match-winning performance in their 33-run victory over Paarl Royals during the first Cape Derby of SA20 Season 3 at Newlands on Monday. Rabada's two remarkable wicket-maiden overs turned the game on its head, as he dismissed Royals' openers Joe Root (26 off 14) and Lhuan-dre Pretorius (26 off 12) in quick succession.
Reflecting on his performance, Rabada credited his execution of plans for his success. "I guess I was just trying to hit good lengths and mix it up with the slow ball and a bouncer whenever I felt it was right. So that's what I tried to do, and it paid off," Rabada said post-match.
