Durbans Super Giants vs Paarl Royals, 27th Match, SA20, 2025-26 - Player Highlights

Viljoen to Markram, out Caught&Bowled!! Markram takes a few steps out of the crease and it's a high full-toss but it's dipping on him as well. He is caught in a tangle and can't get his bat out of the way. The ball lobs towards covers. Viljoen runs in front and to his left on his followthrough to catch it. The batters had set off as well and Viljoen hit the bull's eye at his end to catch Markram short. It is checked upstairs. The third umpire mentions that it was dipping and deems it as a fair delivery. Markram gets a standing ovation from the home crowd as he makes his way back.
