Pitch Report

Nice little breeze and strong enough for the batters to pay attention as to which side they must target. More towards the middle - 58 meters and 61 meters square on either side. The straight hit is 80 meters long. The pitch is dry - unsurprisingly, both teams wanted to bat first. Some shoots of green at the top but that's because it was covered for some time and it was prepared for the previous game that wasn't completed. When you get past the grass, it is a bit dusty. Expect it to turn and it could be tough for the batters to just whack the ball out of the ground. 41 sixes have been hit so far here this season. Who plays spin best - that's the question for today.

Commentary

That brings us to the end of our coverage from this SA20 encounter. Paarl Royals continues their domination in the tournament and are sitting pretty at the top of the points table with 20 points to their name while the Durban Supergiants are languishing at the bottom of the points table and needs to win the remaining two games and wait for other results to go their way to harbour of going through to the next four. We will be back tomorrow with another SA20 clash but for now this is the pair of Arya Sekhar Chakraborty and Darpan Tikiya biding adieu. Goodnight fellas!

David Miller (Paarl Royals captain): Very happy with the result. They came very hard in the powerplay but we finished it off pretty well. Obviously Malinga pulled it back towards the end after conceding 20. Has been expensive but pleased with tonight with the performance of the bowlers. Yeah it's great for the middle order to perform. It's been nice to see contribution upfront. Nice to close out the game in the fashion we did. Very pleased with Mitch. Showed his class and then Hermann came out all guns blazing in the powerplay. Yeah it's challenging. It's been a tough 24 hours but we are pleased with what we have. Chuffed with the attitude of the boys. Tomorrow obviously fly back and rest a bit and then we have two home games.

Keshav Mahara (Durban Supergiants captain): Yeah I thought 15-20 runs shy on this wicket. We lost our way a little bit but all credit to their bowlers. Conceded too many boundaries in the powerplay and there was no way back for us. We look forward to the next two games and positive results there and you don't know what can be in store. Quinny did what he does best. Just to the fans thanks for the loyalty. The results didn't go our way but we gave our best and hopefully we will back to winning ways next year.

Bjorn Fortuin (Player of the Match): "The wicket was a bit o n the slower side. You usually expect that coming to Durban. Though, I didn't quite expect it to be that slow. The first few overs were important to gauge the pace to bowl for the rest of the overs. Miller has grown as a captain over the last two years. This win sets up nicely for the second half of the season. Hopefully we can sustain the momentum. Last two years I have gone searching a bit too hard. This year I have been a bit better."

Time for the post-match presentation ceremony with Natalie Germanos.

Paarl Royals won by 5 wickets (with 15 deliveries to spare)

Rubin Hermann 44(22) | Mujeeb Ur Rahman 2/23(4)
Quinton de Kock 43(30) | Junior Dala 2/38(4)

It turned out to be a rather straightforward run chase for the Paarl Royals as they ended up winning by 5 wickets and with 15 deliveries to spare. It was a dominating performance right from the outset and the Durban Supergiants poor form continued. The only way they could have defended this score was early wickets and that was provided by Chris Woakes and Junior Dala.

Joe Root departed for a golden duck but his opening partner Lhuan-dre-Pretorius began in an attacking fashion and smashed five fours en route to his quickfire 25 off just 13 deliveries. It was Junior Dala who brought about his downfall but Rubin Hermann totally changed the complexion of the game in the rest of the powerplay with his blistering strokeplay.

He took down Dala and looked at absolute ease while facing the pacers. His 44 came off just 22 deliveries which included 4 fours and 3 sixes and laid the platform for the chase before Noor Ahmad castled him with a brilliant wrong in. Mitchell van Buuren and David Miller then batted sensibly for a long period of time to ensure that that the run chase was well on track. They didn't try to do anything fancy.

Rotation of the strike and occasional boundaries were the order of the day for the two batters. Just when the finish line was within reach, Buuren was castled by Dala but the damage was already done by then. Miller was run out in the final over of the game but Dayyaan Galiem and Dinesh Karthik managed to get their side over the finish line in the 18th over. Junior Dala was the pick of the bowlers for DSG with two to his name while Woakes and Noor Ahmad chipped in with a wicket each.

17.3 Naveen ul Haq to Dinesh Karthik, FINISHES IT OFF WITH A BOUNDARY! The field had come up to save one. Karthik hung back and dispatched the long hop over midwicket for a four. Royals win by 5 wickets with 15 balls to spare.

17.2 Naveen ul Haq to Dayyaan Galiem, hard length, at the body. Galiem tucks it in front of square leg and runs one. Scores are level.

Dayyaan Galiem, RHB comes out to the crease.

David Miller throws his bat in disgust, wanted to stay there till the end and perishes in the process. Mulder hits the bullseye with Miller well short of the crease.

17.1 Naveen ul Haq to Dinesh Karthik, KARTHIK IS INVOLVED IN ANOTHER RUN OUT! Though, Miller is the casualty here. Slower bumper, outside off. Karthik hoped on his toes and dragged it towards the man at square leg, who fumbled, but recovered quickly to then hurl the ball at the striker's end and hit bullseye.

David Miller run out Wiaan Mulder 24 (21b, 2x4, 0x6)

Another over ticks by and the Paarl Royals just a couple of runs away from registering a convincing victory. The Durban Supergiants have been below par all through the tournament and it has continued even today.

16.6 Junior Dala to Dinesh Karthik, TOP EDGE...! SAFE! Short ball again. Karthik seemed to have taken his eyes off it at the eleventh hour. It flew towards the man at deep third and fetched them one.

16.5 Junior Dala to Dinesh Karthik, hard length, off stump or thereabouts. Karthik dinks it towards backward point. No run to be had.

16.4 Junior Dala to Dinesh Karthik, banged in at back of a length. Karthik jumps up, tucks his bat close to the body and fends the ball into the ground. No run.

16.3 Junior Dala to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! Full ball, at the off and middle. Karthik stays rooted to the crease and chips it over mid-on. The outfield does the rest.

16.2 Junior Dala to Dinesh Karthik, SLOWER BUMPER! Aimed at the badge but it took an age to arrive. Karthik was able to comfortably duck under it.

Dinesh Karthik, RHB comes out to the crease.

Van Buuren went too far across the off stump and see his stumps getting shattered. It is unlikely to make an eventual difference in the outcome of the game.
