The SA20 season is still going strong, and right now Sunrisers Eastern Cape are sitting pretty at the top of the table, serving wins and looking untouchable while doing it. This week, the action hits Cape Town, where MI Cape Town take on the Sunrisers, and you know it’s going to be a proper showdown.
Now, I’ve been to a few of these games, and trust me on this one: you want to be comfy enough to jump out your seat when your favourite player (Matthew Breetzke, I’m looking at you) hits that SIX, baby.
But also, you want to look cute doing it, because that stadium camera will catch you mid-scream, mid-dance, mid-everything. And honey, you don’t want to be the person frozen in a mid-salty snack face on the big screen.
So let’s break it down.
Not wearing team merch? No problem. You can still look like you belong in the stadium by picking colours that nod to your team.
A soft blue top or crop hints at MI Cape Town, while burnt-orange or black accents show love for Sunrisers. Pair with neutral basics like denim shorts, a relaxed skirt, or comfy trousers (or jeans) so you can move freely.
MI Cape Town supporters can wear a blue top with a white denim skirt or relaxed blue shorts.

If you’re rocking team colours, go all in… but make it stylish. Sunrisers fans: orange tee or crop + black high-waist shorts or a mini skirt, black canvas sneakers or flat sandals, and a black or orange bucket hat to keep the sun off while looking stadium-chic.
Add a crossbody or small backpack for hands-free snack action. MI Cape Town supporters: blue top + white denim skirt or relaxed blue shorts, gold hoops or bangles, white flat sandals, and a blue or white cap to tie the look together.
A lightweight denim jacket or cropped hoodie in team colours is perfect for a surprise Cape Town breeze, easy to tie around the waist when the sun returns.
Sunrisers fans can opt for a orange tee, with a black or beige shorts.

Shoes must be comfortable and summer‑friendly. Think trainers, cute flat sandals, or sneakers that can handle all the cheering, jumping, and running for snacks. Leave the heels at home for that church service, honey.
A white or gold sandal goes with a blue skirt, while black sandals match anything in orange and black.
Keep accessories minimal but functional. Crossbody bags or mini backpacks free your hands for snacks and cheering.
Caps protect from the sun and add style, and sunglasses are essential for day games (aviators, cat-eye, oversized, pick your vibe). Keep jewellery minimal: small hoops or studs, and maybe a few bangles. Add crossbody or mini backpacks - you need both hands for snacks and waving when the six hits.
Eyeshadow is where you play with team spirit: shimmering burnt-orange or matte eyeliner for Sunrisers, metallic blue or soft gold shimmer for MI Cape Town.

Hair should stay practical yet stylish. Ponytails, buns, or braids survive wind and energy-filled matches. For make-up, team-inspired eyeshadow is a fun way to show spirit: a shimmering burnt-orange lid or eyeliner for Sunrisers, or a metallic blue or soft gold shimmer for MI Cape Town.
Pair with waterproof mascara and a lip colour that pops: coral, orange, or peach for Sunrisers, soft pink, nude, or light peach for MI Cape Town. A little highlight on the cheekbones keeps you glowing under the sun and stadium lights.
