SEC 1ST

OUT! Run Out. Ottniel Baartman to Lewis Gregory. Reverse Swing-Out back of a length, outside off stump moves in front Slog, mis-timed to square leg for 1 run, fielded by Fortuin, by Verreynne. Sunrisers Eastern Cape have posted 149 runs, setting a target of 150 for Paarl Royals. Jonny Bairstow scored 33 runs, while Jordan Hermann made 47 but narrowly missed out on a half-century. After the wicket of Tristan Stubbs, the Sunrisers lost momentum, which pressurised the incoming batters. It was a decent bowling display from Paarl Royals, with Nqobani Mokoena picking up four wickets and Ottniel Baartman claiming three. Can Paarl Royals chase down this target, or will Sunrisers Eastern Cape defend their total? Stay tuned for the run chase!

What a game of cricket at St George's Park as Paarl Royals sealed a thrilling 5-wicket win.
