10.5 to Q de Kock, Pulled straight to deep midwicket! Short outside off and de Kock doesn't middle it at all. Deep midwicket was standing a few steps in from the rope and it goes right to him. A good knock from de Kock comes to an end. 81/2 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 32 | 1 | 8.00 | 7 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | |
11.5 to M Jansen, knocks him over! What a comeback from Fortuin after being hit for a four. This is slow on a length around middle and leg and Jansen is very early into his slog sweep. The ball also spins away and crashes into the stumps. 89/3 | ||||||||||

8.2 to JM Bairstow, What a catch from David Miller! Bairstow's reprieve doesn't last long. He looks to go inside out to this full ball outside off, reaching for it in the end. Chips it to mid-off's left and Miller runs to his left and dives to remove Bairstow. 66/1 18.5 to MP Breetzke, Timberrrr! Breetzke falls to Baartman for the fifth time in 10 innings! This is very full, almost in the blackhole, and Breetzke can't connect as he looks to hoick it away and loses his off stump. 162/4 | ||||||||||

0.3 to LG Pretorius, A feather of an inside edge and it's given! Wafts at a full delivery and it looks to have seamed in past the edge. But Jansen was sure and it was given. Pretorius reviews it. Looks like the ball just kissed the toe end of the bat on the way through, with a slight spike on UltraEdge, and Royals lose Pretorius early!. 2/1 | ||||||||||

1.6 to RA Herman, Big appeal for caught behind and this time the umpire doesn't give it. Milne is adamant and Stubbs sends it up. Length ball angled across him and Hermann hung his bat out in defence. The ball was shaping away just a touch and goes from very close to the outside edge. And UltraEdge confirms the nick! Sunrisers have two wickets in two overs, and where Jordan Hermann scored a fine fifty, his brother Rubin has got a duck to his name.. 7/2 3.3 to VS Halambage, And another one bites the dust! Milne goes back of a length, cramping him for room. Halambage looks for a short-arm swipe across the line. The top edge spoons up to mid-off and captain Stubbs does the rest. 10/3 | ||||||||||
| 3 | 0 | 13 | 4 | 4.33 | 12 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | |
5.6 to AM Tribe, High into the sky and drops straight to the fielder! Cross-seam bouncer outside off and Tribe tries to take him on with the pull, top-edging it and picking out Muthusamy. He was impressive for a few strokes he played, but Nortje gets the better of him. 30/4 10.1 to D Potgieter, Castles him with a brute Pace on, full outside off and it shapes away just a touch and enough to beat Potgieter's attempted flick across the line and the stumps are in a mess. 46/6 10.5 to BC Fortuin, High in the night sky and Nortje picks up another in the over! Hurries him with a short ball and Fortuin top edges it. Goes up a long way, but de Kock settles under it and takes it without any drama. Nortje really bowling lighting and thunder out here today. 48/7 10.6 to Mujeeb Ur Rahman, And Nortje has another! A three-wicket over! Another brute of a short ball, so well directed, rocketing in on Mujeeb, who brings up his hands as he tries to get his head out of the way. It thuds his gloves en route to de Kock. 48/8 | ||||||||||
| 2.5 | 0 | 9 | 2 | 3.17 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
11.2 to DA Miller, And now Miller falls! Looks to pull away a delivery not quite a half-tracker and can't get the height or distance on that. Deep midwicket has to move a few steps to his left before grabbing a simple chance. That's Ratnayake's first SA20 wicket!. 48/9 11.5 to N Mokoena, And that will be that! Ratnayake has wickets with each hand in an over and Sunrisers start the campaign with a statement win as Paarl Royals will go down for having the lowest total in SA20 history. Mokoena clears his front leg and has a mighty heave at this full ball around off but he plays all around it and Royals are bowled out for one run short of 50!. 49/10 | ||||||||||
| 1 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 3.00 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
7.4 to K Verreynne, Another one dropped short, Verreynne looks for the pull again but mistimes it and it's an easy catch at deep midwicket. Stubbs with another catch, and Paarl Royals are sinking fast at home!. 37/5 | ||||||||||
