But when they were dismissed, Paarl Royals added 189 runs for the loss of 8 wickets.
Reece Dapley’s bowling also played an important role in Durban Supergiants’ victory. Taple then bowled Jos Buttler for 2 runs and then in the final over, Dane Vilas also dismissed Evans.
Aniruddha Srikanth says, “Durban Supergiants hit 5 sixes in 7 balls in the final over which made the big difference between the two teams. Because Paarl Royals lost by 27 runs. In terms of bowling, mention must be made of Reece Daple’s performance. He has proved his reason for being England’s premier bowler.
Taple picked up a crucial wicket in the powerplay and was superb in the latter end with 2 more wickets. Due to injury, he was unable to play in the T20 World Cup. It would have pleased him to have bounced back and performed at a high level since then. He will be the player to watch in this series. The turning point in the game came when the Morgan and Dane Vilas partnership was broken.
,Similarly, Pretorius took the wickets of David Miller Vihan Lube in one over in the opening. Due to this, the Paarl Royals team seemed to be limited there. But since then, Morgan and Vilas have struggled. Paarl Royals lost in this game but did not give away the bonus point, which is a little bit better,” he said.
