The fireworks truly began in the final three overs of the innings, where the duo combined for a staggering 72 runs.

Rutherford, who will represent Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2026, then took over in the 19th over, dominating Dwaine Pretorius by smashing sixes off the first four consecutive balls. The Caribbean powerhouse showcased his strength by expertly handling slower balls and low full tosses, sending them repeatedly into the stands and completely shifting the momentum of the contest.

Before this late-innings surge, the game was relatively balanced, with the Capitals sitting at 148 runs after 17 overs. However, the final blitz changed the complexion of the match entirely. Brevis ended his cameo unbeaten with 36 runs off just 13 balls, while Rutherford’s explosive 47 came at a remarkable strike rate of 313.33.

The Pretoria Capitals finally found their rhythm, securing a dominant first victory of the season in their third outing. After setting a massive target of 221, their bowling unit backed up the batters' efforts by dismantling MI Cape Town's lineup. The opposition was bundled out for a mere 135 runs in just 14.2 overs, resulting in a comprehensive win for the Capitals.

Sherfane Rutherford, already the hero with the bat, proved to be equally effective with the ball. He enjoyed a standout performance in the second innings, claiming four wickets in his three-over spell to break the back of the chase. Supporting him was skipper Keshav Maharaj, whose disciplined bowling earned him three crucial wickets and ensured the Capitals stayed firmly in control.

Ultimately, it was a career-defining day for Rutherford, whose explosive all-round contribution made him the obvious choice for the Player of the Match award.
