Earlier in the first innings, Jansen failed to scalp any wicket and conceded 29 runs in his four-over spell. However, he completely changed the momentum of the game in the second innings with his heroic knock.
MI Cape Town will be squaring off against Paarl Royals in their next clash on Saturday while Sunrisers Eastern Cape will take on Joburg Super Kings on the same day.
