SA20 match 8 review

The Durban Super Giants beat the Paarl Royals by 27 runs to register their 2nd win in a row. The Super Giants started off well as Mayers and Mulder came out to open the batting putting together an opening partnership of 62 in 5.5 overs. The experiment to open with Mulder paid off as he scored 42 off 33 which included 4 4s and 1 six. De Kock coming in at 3 was also good as he scored 57 off 31 which included 5 4s and 4 6s. Klaasen finished the innings with a blast as he scored 50 off 19 that included 1 four and 6 6s. This meant the Super Giants posted 216-4 in their 20 overs.

The Royals in reply lost two key players Buttler and Miller early on in the chase and struggled to get back into the game. Eoin Morgan and Dane Vilas put up a good fight in the middle overs but it wasn't enough to get the Royals back on track for victory as both lost their wickets at moments in the game.

The Super Giants bowlers were good at closing off the game with their death bowling. The win means Super Giants are 3rd on the table with 2 wins and 1 loss. They seem to have gained some good momentum to build on going forward in the tournament and have the luxury of quite a few all-rounders in their 11 which means they have resources for all conditions they could encounter.

The Royals will be disappointed and hoping to bounce back tomorrow when they play Super Giants at home in Paarl.
