Paarl Royals vs Joburg Super Kings, 30th Match, SA20, 2025-26 - Highlights

Ottneil Baartman to Leus du Plooy, 2 runs, oh dear! Lhuan-dre Pretorius has missed a sitter, could've run Leus du Plooy OUT - was the slower ball and he reverse dragged it past point, was always coming back for the second. The throw came right besides the stumps, he was slightly blindsided by the sun, turned to the other end and then realised that the dismissal was on at his end - could have walked upto the stumps and broken the stumps, instead he rolls it towards the stumps from two yards and misses

Ottneil Baartman to Leus du Plooy, 1 run, on a good length and slanting into the pads, tucked behind square on the on-side - brings up a 24-ball fifty for Leus du Plooy

Ottneil Baartman to Leus du Plooy, FOUR, the boundaries keep coming - Leus du Plooy is playing a blinder here - reverses the stance and then swings it over backward point, bounces away to the ropes

Waqar Salamkheil to Dian Forrester, SIX, clubbed, dragged short by Salamkheil and Forrester is quick on the swivel pull, thumps it powerfully and wide of mid-wicket - 23 off the over

Waqar Salamkheil to Leus du Plooy, FOUR, this is turning out to be a huge over for JSK - Salamkheil goes full and wider of off, so does Leus du Plooy as he went inside out over cover, a couple of bounce and beats the diving fielder in the deep

Waqar Salamkheil to Leus du Plooy, SIX, back-to-back sixes for Leus du Plooy, Salamkheil drags the length back, but it's way too short - Leus du Plooy swivels across and then hammers the pull over mid-wicket

Waqar Salamkheil to Leus du Plooy, SIX, massive, Leus du Plooy is playing a lovely hand - tossed up around off and it's right in the slot for the slog-sweep - the left-hander swings with the breeze and sends it soaring over deep backward square leg

Nqobani Mokoena to Mulder, out Bowled!! Change of pace and that does the trick for Mokoena - he's been so good in the death overs for the Royals, rolled his fingers across the seam, was the off-cutter and Mulder was way too early into the swipe. He's beaten completely and the ball crashes into the top of middle-stump. Mulder b Nqobani Mokoena 8(7) [4s-1]

Nqobani Mokoena to Leus du Plooy, FOUR, nicely played, short and just outside off - Leus du Plooy backs away, gets on top of the bounce and then steers it wide of backward point for a boundary

Nqobani Mokoena to Mulder, FOUR, nicely played, short of a length and at the hips, clipped backward of square on the on-side and the ball beats Salamkheil's chase

Waqar Salamkheil to Matthew De Villiers, out Caught by Asa Tribe!! A gentle chip and Matthew De Villiers has holed out to long-off - not sure what he was trying to do, was probably looking to go over extra-cover, hit it a lot straighter and down Tribe's throat at long-off, was right in the slot and Matthew De Villiers would be gutted to have been dismissed in that fashion. Matthew De Villiers c Asa Tribe b Waqar Salamkheil 27(23) [4s-1]

Ottneil Baartman to Leus du Plooy, FOUR, cheeky and four, a cross-seam delivery outside off - Leus du Plooy switches stance and drags the pull, came off the under-edge and rolled past the keeper for a boundary, another 11-run over

Ottneil Baartman to Leus du Plooy, 2 runs, a half-chance, but Lawrence can't hold on - on a length and just outside off, Leus du Plooy came running down the pitch and slaps it high to cover's right - Lawrence was close by and sticks his right hand, but it doesn't stick

Ottneil Baartman to Matthew De Villiers, FOUR, streaky, but four, fuller length delivery and well wide of off, De Villiers throws his bat on the drive, gets a thick toe-end and runs away fine, past the dive at short third

Raza to Leus du Plooy, SIX, hammered, too full from Raza, the drift takes it down leg and it's a free-hit for Leus du Plooy - picks the length early and sends the sweep sailing over deep backward square leg for a maximum, 11 off the over

Raza to Matthew De Villiers, 1 run, dropped short and wide of off - sliced away square on the off-side for a single

Raza to Leus du Plooy, FOUR, lovely shot, too full from Raza, the drift was taking it down leg - Leus du Plooy bends down low, uses the pace and sweeps it fine, onto the ropes at long leg

Raza to Neil Timmers, out Lbw!! A big shout and Neil Timmers has been given OUT. He has a chat with his partner and reviews. This does look close though, at worst, it could be umpire's call on hitting - pushed through flatter and quicker - slides through at pace and catches Timmers back in the crease, he's pinned on the back-leg and this actually looks plumb. No bat and it's three reds on ball-tracking, hitting the top of leg-stump and Neil Timmers is OUT. A handy innings from young Timmers on SA20 debut, but it's over now. Neil Timmers lbw b Raza 39(37) [4s-4]

Raza to Neil Timmers, FOUR, a loosener from Raza - dropped short and wide of off, Timmers reaches out on the cut and gets an under-edge through Lhuan-dre Pretorius's legs, runs away to the ropes

Waqar Salamkheil to Neil Timmers, FOUR, crunched, loopy delivery wide of off and Timmers drilled the drive, was in the air and to the right of cover, but it was past him even before he could react

Dan Lawrence to Neil Timmers, FOUR, lovely shot, loopy delivery outside off - Timmers gets down low, reverses the stance, gets on top of the bounce and plays the reverse sweep, beats the fielder sliding across in the deep

Waqar Salamkheil to Michael Pepper, out Caught by Dan Lawrence!! That's a superb catch at cover and the dangerous Pepper has been sent packing - was tossed up invitingly around leg and middle, Pepper backs away and was looking to drive it past cover - hit it in the air and to the left of Lawrence, he's sharp as he anticipates the shot and takes a good catch - almost a one-handed grab, the right-hand cusping over his left hand after the ball was caught. Michael Pepper c Dan Lawrence b Waqar Salamkheil 27(23) [4s-3 6s-1]

Waqar Salamkheil to Michael Pepper, SIX, a filthy full-toss and Pepper has pumelled a one-handed swipe over deep backward square leg - a gift and Pepper makes most to it. Hit it with the wind and sent it soaring over the man in the deep

Dan Lawrence to Neil Timmers, 1 run, Lawrence tosses one from round the wicket - Timmers inside halves the drive to the right of mid-wicket and calls for a quick single - Miller is quick on the ball and Michael Pepper has to rush to make his ground

Nqobani Mokoena to Michael Pepper, 1 run, that would've been a scorcher had the fielder held on - back of a length and well wide of off, Pepper slashed it off the back-foot and it went flying to the right of cover-point - Fortuin covered some ground and then threw himself to his right, the ball hit his hands and popped over, harsh to call it even as a half-chance, but he's certainly saved three runs

Fortuin to Michael Pepper, FOUR, nicely played, a third reverse sweep from Fortuin - Pepper gets down low, reverses the stance and drags it backward of square on the off-side for another boundary

Fortuin to Michael Pepper, no run, a big shout for LBW, Pepper though was a long way down the pitch and the ball could've been sliding down leg, but Royals have reviewed - pushed through by Fortuin as he saw Pepper coming down the pitch, has it pitched outside leg? Don't think it has straightened enough as well. No bat, we're onto ball-tracking: Impact stays with umpire's call (over 3m) and it's only clipping the legh-stump, once again stays with the onfield call, but Royals don't lose their review

Fortuin to Michael Pepper, FOUR, nicely played, Pepper brings out the reverse sweep - bends down low, gets on top of the bounce and finds the gap behind square on the off-side

Ottneil Baartman to Michael Pepper, FOUR, edged and four, short of a good length and just outside off - Michael Pepper went hard on the drive, lost his shape and the edge flies wide of the keeper - no slip and the ball races away

Nqobani Mokoena to Neil Timmers, FOUR, cracking shot, fuller length delivery and well wide of off - Timmers leans across into the drive and lashes it square on the off-side, races away to the point boundary

Fortuin to James Vince, out Bowled!! A 2-ball duck for James Vince and JSK have lost their stand-in captain early - pushed through on middle, Vince backs away on the cut, but the ball skids through and beats him for pace, crashing into the leg-stump. James Vince b Fortuin 0(2)
