Paarl Royals vs Joburg Super Kings, Eliminator, SA20, 2025-26 - Highlights

Nandre Burger to Keagan Lion Cachet, FOUR, slower one from Burger but Keagan Lion Cachet still manages to get the scoop away over short fine

Nandre Burger to Asa Tribe, FOUR, such power off the bottom hand! Full at the stumps, he shovels it wide of long-on and it goes quickly to the ropes. First time 200 is brought up at Centurion this season

Mulder to Keagan Lion Cachet, FOUR, misses the yorker, offers a full toss down leg and Keagan Lion Cachet whips it to the fine leg boundary. Went so quickly that the fielder had no chance

Mulder to Asa Tribe, FOUR, in the slot and hammered! Full from Mulder, Tribe makes room and smashes it through mid-off who is in the ring

Duan Jansen to Asa Tribe, FOUR, short and wide, Tribe cuts well and it runs away to the boundary despite a hand from backward point diving across

Duan Jansen to Raza, out Caught&Bowled!! Superb diving catch in followthrough! Again Raza advances, Jansen cramps him up with a length ball on the pads and he bunts it straight back to him. It comes low to his right and Jansen dives across to grab it with both hands. Might've been the slower one too which made Raza go through the shot early. Raza c and b Duan Jansen 35(19) [4s-2 6s-3]

Duan Jansen to Raza, FOUR, advances and adjusts! Short ball down leg, wasn't what Raza was looking for but he makes the adjustment so well to pull it over short fine

Nandre Burger to Asa Tribe, SIX, now Tribe gets into the act! Full outside off, in the slot and he hits through the line, getting it right off the middle. Flies over the long-off boundary

Akeal Hosein to Raza, SIX, now he steps out and launches it a long way back over long-on! Wow he couldn't have struck that any better. Got right to the pitch before smashing it through the line

Akeal Hosein to Raza, SIX, smoked into the crowd! Flat at the stumps, it's on the shorter side and sits up nicely for Raza as he pulls hard over midwicket

Mulder to Raza, FOUR, uses the pace and guides it in the gap! Clever play from Raza. Hangs back and allows it to come on before dabbing it past short third

Mulder to Dan Lawrence, out Bowled!! Change in plan from Mulder and it works to perfection. Goes round the wicket, fires it into the blockhole and knocks over the leg stump. Lawrence lost his balance while looking to squeeze that out and he's gone after a brisk knock. Dan Lawrence b Mulder 36(23) [4s-2 6s-3]

Mulder to Raza, SIX, great start after the timeout for Royals! Full outside off, in the slot and Raza lofts it clean down the ground

Duan Jansen to Dan Lawrence, FOUR, now through the off-side. Low full toss, opens the face and slices it past backward point

Duan Jansen to Dan Lawrence, SIX, whipped in the air and it goes straight into the little swimming pool over backward square. Big splash as the ball cannons into the water. Not sure if it'll need to be changed. It's full at the stumps and Lawrence dismisses it from his presence

Akeal Hosein to Dan Lawrence, SIX, plenty of height and just enough distance as well! Second six of the over from Lawrence! Gets down low on the back knee and gets under this length ball to hammer it over midwicket

Akeal Hosein to Dan Lawrence, SIX, dragged down short and it's been deposited in the crowd! Lawrence rocks back, pulls hard, clears long-on. Was able to adjust even as the ball stayed a touch low

Nandre Burger to Dan Lawrence, FOUR, just out of the reach of the fielder! Short of length above the waist, Lawrence plays the short-arm pull behind square and it goes high in the air. Fielder gives chase in the deep and puts in the dive but can't get to it

Nandre Burger to Raza, 1 run, tucked from the crease into the on-side

Daniel Worrall to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, out Lhuan-dre Pretorius Run Out!! 1 run completed. Pretorius is run out and is livid. Swings his bat in frustration before walking off. Oh what a lucky break this is for the Super Kings as he was looking so dangerous. Clips it gently through midwicket, wants to come back for two but his foot slips a little while turning because he's running on the grass and not on the pitch. Not sure it would've made a difference as he ended up being well short of the crease despite the dive. Was a gun throw from Matt de Villiers, flat and on the bounce to the keeper. Lhuan-dre Pretorius run out (Matthew de Villiers/Rivaldo Moonsamy) 51(34) [4s-2 6s-5]

Daniel Worrall to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, 1 run, back of a length on middle and leg, Pretorius tucks it through square leg and brings up fifty. What a time to strike form!

Duan Jansen to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, SIX, helps it along the way! Shuffles across, gets a short one at the body and manages to get inside the line before pulling it over the fine leg boundary. Big over for the Royals!

Duan Jansen to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, SIX, launched down the ground with Pretorius now looking ominous for the Super Kings! Pitched up outside off, an off-cutter and he picks it nicely before swinging through the line

Mulder to Rubin Hermann, out Caught by Matthew de Villiers!! The short-arm pull lands straight in the hands of deep backward square. Wasn't too short, Hermann still went for it and couldn't find the gap despite timing it quite well. Couldn't have picked out the fielder any better. Rubin Hermann c Matthew de Villiers b Mulder 9(7) [4s-1]

Akeal Hosein to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, SIX, right in the slot and Pretorius nails the slog-sweep! Goes a long way over the midwicket boundary

Duan Jansen to Rubin Hermann, FOUR, timing is sublime from Hermann! Ball seemed to hold up a touch from short of length but he waited on it before punching through the gap at extra

Duan Jansen to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, FOUR, growing in confidence here! Good length around off, he gets forward and plays a lovely on-drive on the up to beat mid-on. Pressure on Duan Jansen straightaway

Duan Jansen to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, SIX, nails the pick-up shot! Is that the shot which gets him going? Full on middle, he whips it across the line and clears deep square leg

Daniel Worrall to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, FOUR, leading edge balloons over short third! Probably an off-cutter from Worrall, Pretorius tries swiping across the line and gets a thick edge over the fielder

Nandre Burger to Verreynne, out Bowled!! Dragged on! Super Kings desperately needed that as Verreynne was looking in superb touch. Lost his shape on this occasion though. Backs away a touch, opens the front hip and then looks to blaze it through the off-side. The ball is full outside off and all he does is chop it back off the inside edge. Verreynne b Nandre Burger 30(15) [4s-4 6s-1]

Nandre Burger to Verreynne, FOUR, Verreynne on a roll! He's seeing the ball nicely and getting into good positions. Backs away, gets a slower short ball and upper-cuts it over the keeper

Nandre Burger to Verreynne, SIX, what a response to that previous blow! Again backs away, this time Burger slants it away outside off and he frees the arms to carve it over cover

Daniel Worrall to Verreynne, FOUR, Verreynne off to a brisk start here! Length ball at the stumps, he backs away and slaps it through backward point

Mulder to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, SIX, after playing out six dots in the previous over, Pretorius comes charging down the track and gets stuck into this one from Mulder! It's on a good length and Pretorius lofts it straight back after using his feet

Mulder to Verreynne, no run, nipping down the leg-side, brushes the thigh pad on the way to the keeper who goes up in appeal. Not out is the call and umpire has also given it a wide. But that was clearly off the thigh pad. The decision remains not out but the wide is overturned after the review from JSK

Mulder to Verreynne, FOUR, now off the back foot! Swinging away outside off, back of a length, he punches it crisply through the covers

Mulder to Verreynne, FOUR, loose half-volley from Mulder to start, and Verreynne creams it through extra cover. Lined up the outswinger nicely

Daniel Worrall to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, no run, dropped! Soft leading edge down the pitch as the ball nips away and squares him up, came gently to Worrall who just misjudged it in followthrough
