Ryan Rickelton goes top of SA20 batting charts with Wanderers masterclass

MICT’s total of 234 was also the highest so far in Season 4, securing them an impressive 36-run victory in front of a buoyant Bullring crowd. 

This made it their second in a row after beating the same team at Newlands on Tuesday, and Rickelton was happy to keep the winning momentum going.

"Nice to obviously go back to back wins. I think we've lacked a lot of momentum in this tournament, if we can start finding it now that would be great but we've put ourselves under a bit of pressure to find ourselves in this spot,” Rickelton said. 

“Also obviously to go out there and put a performance in, I still don't think we are complete just yet but we are showing signs of improvement and hopefully like I said we are in a bit of a roll now and get some more wins under our belt."

Rickelton admitted that the win at home was a pivotal moment in their season after going five games without victory.

They now head across the Jukskei to try and make it three in a row against Pretoria Capitals on Monday, and get the defence of their title back on track.

"Yeah really big and a rain affected game, it always gets difficult and when we came back after the break there was a sense of urgency which we probably lacked the whole season,” he added. 

“We had that in moments again today but we definitely took the right steps I suppose. We've got two now, we need to try and make three or four in a row. We've got some tough opposition, Pretoria are a really good side and then obviously Sunrise is at the top so we still have a lot of work to do. 

“If we can still brush up on a few areas and keep trying to get better, hopefully we can still win a few more."
