SA20 2024: Some brilliant unbeaten fighting knocks by the duo of Paarl Royals Skipper David Miller (75 runs in 42 balls) and middle-order batsman Mitchell Van Buuren (72 runs in 40 balls), along with the duo's unbeaten partnership of 141 runs for the 4th wicket, led the Royals to their second consecutive victory in the 2nd season of the SA20 as the Paarl-based side successfully managed to defeat the Pretoria Capitals by 10 runs at Centurion's Supersport Park. The Paarl Royals are currently in second place in the SA 2024 overall standings with two wins in two games.



The Paarl-based team didn't have a good start as opener Jason Roy (5 runs) and top-order batter Wihan Lube (12 runs) were sent back to the pavilion inside the first 6 overs.? Wicket-keeper Batsman Jos Butter wasn't able to convert his good start into a huge score and got dismissed by fellow countrymen Adil Rashid after managing to score 39 runs in 23 balls.



Royals Skipper David Miller and Mitchell Van Buuren played some brilliant knocks, and their knocks took the team from Paarl to an outstanding score of 210 runs. Killer Miller's unbeaten knock of 75 runs consisted of eight fours and three sixes, while Van Buuren smashed seven fours and three maximums in his unbeaten knock of 72 runs.

Chasing a big total of 211 runs, the team from Pretoria didn't have a good start, as opener Phil Salt (0 runs) and top-order batsman Theunis de Bruyn (4 runs) were sent back to the dugout by Paarl Royals seamer Lungi Ngidi. Fighting knocks from Will Jacks (58 runs in 34 balls) and Rilee Rossouw (82 runs in 45 balls) and a cameo of 20 runs from nine balls by Capitals skipper Jimmy Neesham kept their team in the chase, but it wasn't enough as no other batter was able to provide any kind of support to the trio of Neesham, Jacks, and Rossow, and the team from Pretoria were eventually bundled out for 200 runs in 20 overs. Lungi Ngidi starred with the ball for the Royals with his four-wicket haul. Obed McCoy, Andile Phehlukwayo, and Bjorn Fortuin took one wicket each.

SA20 2024: Updated Points Table Following Paarl Royals Victory Over Pretoria Capitals | South Africa's premier T20 cricket league Points Table

SA20 2024 Points Table: Updated Standings: Durban Super Giants locked horns with Paarl Royals in match number 22 of the ongoing SA20 2024. Durban has given twin setbacks to the Paarl following two big defeats in the span of three days. Fixture number 22 saw Durban Super Giants win the game by a mammoth 125 runs against Paarl Royals at the Kingsmed, Durban.



After opting to bat first, Durban Super Giants went on a run-scoring spree right from the ball one. Though they suffered breakthroughs consistently, the runs never stopped ticking the scoreboard. 



It was opener Matthew Breetzke, who set the tone for the game with his sensational 43-ball 73 run innings following which the other batters too made hays while the sun shone. Marcus Stoinis played a decent innings of 38 runs in the middle order, but it was Henrich Klaasen who gave the finishing touch to the innings.



Klaasen blew Paarl Royals with his astounding half-century knock in just 17 deliveries. His innings saw a flurry of sixes and fours as he helped his side post a total of 208 runs in 20 overs.



The task of 208 runs was huge in front of the Royals, who had already suffered a loss at the hands of the Super Giants two days back. The pressure of scoring at par with the required run rate didn't let any of the Royals' batters take a sigh of relief. For them, the task was to whack the bowlers from ball one, which apparently didn't go well.



Paarl Royals lost wickets in clusters and barring two of their batters, who scored 14 and 36 runs, none of the remaining players could cross the double digits.



In response to the 208 runs total posted by Durban Super Giants, Paarl Royals succumbed in just 13.2 overs after scoring 83 runs. Royals were bowled out by the Super Giants, won the fixture by 125 runs, and took an unassailable lead as we advance in SA20 2024.

SA20 2024 Points Table: MI Cape Town (MICT) and Pretoria Capitals (PC) locked horns in the 26th game of the ongoing South Africa's premier T20 league, SA20 2024. The fixture was held at SuperSport Park in Centurian on February 01. MI Cape Town won the game by 34 runs, after posting a massive total of 248 runs, and kept their hopes alive for the SA20 2024 Playoffs.



With the playoff qualification at stake, both MI Cape Town and Pretoria Capitals couldn't afford to lose any more games. The MI Cape Town was at the bottom of the SA20 2024 Points Table and now with the win against Pretoria Capitals (PC), they have made a huge stride to sit in fourth place.



MI's victory was a result of their batters' fantastic knocks. Batting first MI Cape Town managed to put up 248 runs on the scoreboard. The key contributors of MI's massive total were?Ryan Rickelton, Dewald Bravis, Sam Curran and Kieron Pollard.



Opener Ryan Rickelton played a sensational innings of 90 runs in just 45 deliveries. Young Dewald Bravis tormented the Pretoria bowlers with his 66-run knock in 32 balls. The two sublime knocks were followed by a couple of cameos from Sam Curran, who played a 12-ball 22-run cameo, and skipper Kieron Pollard, who 3 sixes and 2 fours to score 27 runs in a mere 7 deliveries.



At the end of the 20 overs, MI Cape Town had a pile of runs which was enough to take them to victory. MICT plundered a total of 248 runs in 20 overs in the loss of 4 wickets.



The chase wasn't going to be easy for the Pretoria Capitals. The scoreboard pressure right from the start of the innings, kept the Capitals on their toes. MI Cape Town made most of the run-rate pressure and pushed the Capitals in backfoot early on with their bowling.



In 6 overs, Pretoria Capitals saw six of their wickets fall and the chase, then, looked impossible for them. In fact, it seemed as if the team would never manage to cross the 100-run mark. However, Kyle Verreyenne had some other plans. When he got the support of Wayne Parnell from the other end, who just didn't let the wickets fall anymore, Verreyenne unleashed his range of shots.



The number 3 batter did his best to take the game as deep as possible, however, the target put up by MICT was not meant to be hunted down by just a single batter's innings. Though Verreynne played an unbeaten knock of 116 runs and took his side's score to 214, he needed some assistance from the other end as well.



In the end, Pretoria Capitals could only score 214 runs in 20 overs and lost the game by 34 runs. Below is the Updated <a href="https://www.sa20.co.za/">SA20</a> 2024 Points Table after the fixture:
