MI Cape Town (MICT) were the poorest-performing team in the inaugural season of the SA20 League. They could only win three of their ten matches, attaining only 13 points. As a result, they ended in the sixth position at the bottom of the points table and were eliminated before the knockout phase.

MICT are a strong team, laced with superstars in every department, and will be raring to improve their mistakes from the last season and emerge better as a unit in the fresh season of the SA20 League.
