Mumbai Indians Cape Town will lock horns with Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the grand final of the SA20 League on Saturday, February 8. Both teams had a contrasting run while reaching the final of the tournament. SEC started the tournament with three losses, while MICT had a tremendous run, winning all five home games. However, the momentum is with the SEC as they have won two knockout games and are gunning for a three-peat.
