Rickelton century hammers MICT to massive 234/3 against JSK

Proteas star Ryan Rickelton continued to make a mockery of the selectors decision to not pick him for the T20 World Cup squad, as he hammered his second century of the Betway SA20 to smash MI Cape Town (MICT) to 234/3 in their 20 overs against Joburg Super Kings (JSK) at DP World Wanderers in Johannesburg on Saturday evening.

Rickelton had already crunched a century in the opening match of the competition, before he was left out of the Proteas squad for the showpiece event, but has shaken off that disappointment as he clubbed nine sixes and eight fours on his way to an unbeaten 114 off 60-balls.

Fellow opener Rassie van der Dussen was also in top form, crashing six sixes and four fours in his 65 off 32 balls, while an unbeaten cameo from Karim Janat, 20no off 11 (1x4; 2x6) also helped them finish strong and set the home team a massive total to chase to get the win.

The MICT innings got off to a flying start thanks Rickelton and Van Der Dussen as they set the platform with a brilliant 129-run opening stand off just 62 balls.

They dominated the powerplay, crashing 67 runs off of it, which included Dan Worrall’s first over going for 20 runs, while the third over from Prenelan Subrayen went for 13, and the fourth from Akeal Hosein went for 14.

The carnage continued after the powerplay, but Van Der Dussen did receive a bit of a lifeline on 43, in eighth over, when James Vince looked to have made a good relay catch off the bowling of Wiaan Mulder, only for the third umpire to rule he had touched the bounadary rope.

That allowed Van Der Dussen to go to a 26-ball half century with a boundary in the ninth over, bowled by Donovan Ferreira, which also brought up the teams 100, while 19 also came off the over.

In the 10th over Rickelton reached his half century with a six off Nandre Burger, and by the halfway stage MICT were sitting pretty on 128/0, but in the next over Worrall made the breakthrough, as Van Der Dussen pulled him straight to Mulder at deep square leg.

The second half of the innings was then largely about Rickelton making merry, as Nicholas Pooran (14) and Jason Smith (2) were unable to trouble the scorers.

Rickelton reached his century in some style, cracking back-to-back boundaries and a six over deep square leg off Burger in the 18th over, while his 66-run partnership off 28 balls with Janat helped them reach the end of their innings well over the 200-run mark.
