Marcus Stoinis to Wihan Lubbe, OUT! CAUGHT! Wihan Lubbe departs! Slants it across the angle on off on a good length, Wihan Lubbe looks to loft it over the mid on fielder but miscues it with the bottom half of the blade and ends up dollying it straight to Wiaan Mulder at mid on who pouches it with a reverse cup. Paarl Royals are two down now and this is game is poised at an absolute cliffhanger.

6.1
Noor Ahmad to Jos Buttler, SIX! Smashed away! Serves it in the hitting arc of Buttler on middle, Jos Buttler gets under the ball and lofts it over long on for a huge maximum. You just cannot bowl him there. It came right out of the middle of his blade.

8.6
Noor Ahmad to David Miller, OUT! CAUGHT! Something was brewing up with those five dots and Noor gets his man. A normal leg-break outside off on a fuller length, it keeps a bit low after pitching. David Miller looks to go downtown and clear the ropes but ends up hitting it with the bottom half of his bat which flies straight to Wiaan Mulder who takes a fantastic running grab from long on. David Miller falls. Runs have pretty much stopped flowing and that's what compelled Miller to go big but he couldn't provide the breakthrough with the bat. Noor Ahmad kept him tied up and the pressure kept piling up on him. Also, it's a wicket maiden over from Noor Ahmed.

Noor Ahmad to Mitchell van Buuren, FOUR! Oh my word! Lands it short and just outside off, Mitchell van Buuren looks to cut it but gets a bottom edge. It goes through the left of the keeper and finds the fence. Fortunate runs!

Keshav Maharaj to Jos Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT! Keshav Maharaj gets the big fish! Full and on off, with a hint of turn, Jos Buttler drives it uppishly towards short covers. Wiaan Mulder dives to his right and takes a fine catch. Jos Buttler makes his way after a fine knock! The pressure kept creeping in on him and he couldn't contain it. A soft dismissal though but now, Paarl Royals are in deep trouble as they lose their highest run-getter.

13.1
Keshav Maharaj to Mitchell van Buuren, OUT! TAKEN! Mitchell van Buuren bites the dust! Lands it on middle, Matthew Breetzke sweeps it but mistimes his stroke. The ball goes in the air towards deep mid-wicket. Matthew Breetzke settles under it and takes a fine catch.

Marcus Stoinis to Fabian Allen, OUT! TAKEN! Marcus Stoinis gets his second and dismisses Fabian Allen! Bangs in short and just a shade on off, Fabian Allen gets deceived with an extra bounce and ends up slicing it over the extra cover where Wiaan Mulder takes a comfortable catch. He has been pretty busy in the field tonight. 6 down now the Paarl Royals.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Andile Phehlukwayo, SIX! BANG! A juicy half-volley on off by Naveen, Andile Phehlukwayo clears his front leg and slaps it with the middle of the blade with a beautiful swing and follow-through before depositing it over the sightscreen for a huge maximum.

Marcus Stoinis to Bjorn Fortuin, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Three for Stoinis and what a phenomenal night he is having with the ball. Surprises Andile Phehlukwayo with a steep bumper who takes the leading edge on his pull. The ball flies straight into the gloves of Quinton de Kock who makes no mistake with that easy sitter. 7 down for the Paarl Royals and the game is way out of their reach now.

18.3
Reece Topley to Andile Phehlukwayo, OUT! TAKEN! Fantastic catch in the deep. Fuller and on the stump line, Andile Phehlukwayo mistimes his shot attempting to clear the deep mid-wicket region. The ball balloons up in the night sky for an eternity. Matthew Breetzke settles himself running from the deep and takes an absolute sitter. The last hope for the Royals walks back to the dressing room. He is disappointed and so are the Paarl Royals fans.

18.6
Reece Topley to Obed McCoy, OUT! YOU MISS I HIT! 9 down and Topley gets his second. Bowls a straighter delivery on off, Obed McCoy goes for a big one to the leg side but only meets thin air and the ball bamboozles the sticks flirting with his outside edge. Durban's Super Giants are just a wicket away from a comprehensive win.

19.3
Naveen-ul-Haq to Lungi Ngidi, OUT! TAKEN! That's it! Durban's Super Giants WIN by a huge margin of 57 runs. Fuller length and outside off with a bit of pace-off, Lungi Ngidi clears his front foot to clear the long off fielder but ends up getting the bottom half on the shot which flies straight to Keshav Maharaj at long off who doesn't move an inch and grabs an easy one. Durban's Super Giants also get a bonus point as they managed to restrict the Paarl Royals below 152 and now they climb to the top of the points table with 23 points.
