Joburg Super Kings Struggle with the Bat
Batting first, Joburg Super Kings faced early trouble on a tricky pitch. Losing their top three batters within the first six overs, they managed just 36 runs in the powerplay. Bjorn Fortuin (2/22) and Joe Root (1/16) led the Royals’ bowling effort, keeping JSK in check.
Jonny Bairstow played a crucial knock, scoring 60 runs off 40 balls, including three sixes and two boundaries. His partnership with Donovan Ferreira (32* off 19) helped the Super Kings recover and post a total of 146/6 in 20 overs.

Chasing 147, Paarl Royals got off to a quick start, with Lhuan-dre Pretorius smashing 27 off 14 balls. Despite losing early wickets, Mitchell Van Buuren (44 off 45) held the innings together. Skipper David Miller then stepped up with an unbeaten 40 off 32 balls, ensuring the Royals crossed the finish line with five balls to spare.
Hardus Viljoen (2/23) and Imran Tahir (1/22) bowled economically for JSK, but the total proved insufficient as the Royals maintained control of the chase.
