Paarl Royals vs MI Cape Town, 16th Match, SA20, 2023 - HighlightsPR vs MICT, 16th Match, SA20, 2023 - Highlights

Adams to van der Dussen, out Caught by Roy!! The idea was right but the execution wasn't! Back of a length slower ball well outside off, van der Dussen comes down the track as he backs away but can only cut it uppishly towards Roy at backward point who takes an overhead catch to his left. A good innings nonetheless. van der Dussen c Roy b Adams 49(42) [4s-4 6s-1]

Adams to van der Dussen, FOUR, he begins in a positive manner! It's a slower ball and it's too short, van der Dussen comes down the track, backs away and pulls it hard past backward square leg and there's no one in the deep there, a boundary results

Ngidi to van der Dussen, SIX, this time he connects, he outthinks the bowler. He shuffles a long way across and it's in the slot wide outside off, he gets into a good position to slog sweep it over cow corner and away she goes into the stands

Ngidi to Rashid Khan, out Caught by Miller!! Rashid Khan departs against the run of play! An off-cutter on a full length well outside off, Rashid Khan reaches to it but doesn't get the height and the distance on his big hit down the ground. It skews towards Miller at long-off and he is one of the best in the business, he takes it calmly and tumbles over. Rashid Khan c Miller b Ngidi 13(7) [4s-2]

Adams to Rashid Khan, FOUR, hit with authority! Another slower one, Rashid Khan is nimble on his feet as he converts it into a full toss and there comes a bottom-handed whip over the bowler for a rocketing boundary

Adams to Rashid Khan, FOUR, cheeky, that is what Rashid Khan is known for! It's a short ball and its the slower one. It seems like Rashid is almost beaten but he is alert as he upper cuts it at the last moment over the keeper

Ngidi to Odean Smith, out Caught by Adams!! Ngidi strikes! He bowls a full ball well outside off, almost near the tramline. Odean Smith reaches out to it and slices it uppishly to the right of backward point who gets low to his right and takes a sharp catch. Wickets keep falling for the visitors, robbing them off any sort of momentum. Odean Smith c Adams b Ngidi 6(5) [4s-1]

Ngidi to Odean Smith, FOUR, in the air.. but past the diving fielder! Another off-cutter outside off, it's shortish and there's width too, Odean Smith mistimes his flat-batted stroke towards mid-off as the ball falls in front of the fielder and beats him to go through to the fence

Shamsi to Delano Potgieter, out Stumped!! A classical leg spinner's dismissal! He gives this one more revs and slows this one up inviting the batter for something audacious. Delano Potgieter is deceived in the air as he walks down the track and tries to play it across the line but ends up playing it all around it. The keeper takes the bails off and his back foot seems to be in the air. The replay rolls in and yes, the foot is in the air. Delano Potgieter st Buttler b Shamsi 0(2)

Shamsi to Linde, out Bowled!! Shamsi responds really well under pressure and he has the last laugh! He pulls his length back a touch this time as Linde shuffles a touch eyeing another slog sweep over cow corner but the ball stays a touch low and foxes him to go under his bat and rattles the stumps. Shamsi is cock-a-hoop! A cameo from Linde comes to an end. Linde b Shamsi 24(14) [4s-2 6s-1]

Shamsi to Linde, SIX, in the arc, out of the park! Linde is known for big hits and there's an example of that. Tossed up ball on off, Linde clears his front leg and slog sweeps it over cow corner for a mammoth maximum, first six of the innings

Evan Jones to Linde, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries! Typical response from a fast bowler after getting hit for a boundary. It's shorter in length outside off, Linde cuts it with nice timing through covers and there's no chance for the man in the deep

Evan Jones to Linde, FOUR, great ball striking! A half-volley outside off, Linde opens up his arms and strokes it gloriously past extra cover for a beautiful boundary

Adams to Roelofsen, out Caught by Miller!! This time Roelofsen holes out! Miller is happy as this is a relatively easy catch and he doesn't make any mistake. Full length ball around off, Roelofsen backs away and tries to hit it down the ground but gets it off the toe-end towards Miller at mid off. He gets low in front and gobbles it up. The 63-run stand is cut short. Roelofsen c Miller b Adams 34(30) [4s-3]

Adams to Roelofsen, no run, what an effort from Miller! Almost took a stunning catch! Full length ball, Roelofsen backs away and mistimes his loft towards mid-off. Miller at the edge of the circle leaps like a goalkeeper as he sticks his right hand out but the ball doesn't stick, he tries to recover and take it with both hands again but misses

Shamsi to Roelofsen, FOUR, the 50-run stand comes up! Roelofsen gives himself room and cuts the short ball hard through the covers. Executed that well

Evan Jones to Roelofsen, FOUR, intelligent batting! He backs away to the back of a length ball and cuts it past backward point for a rollicking boundary

Evan Jones to van der Dussen, 1 run, on a length, van der Dussen punches it to long-on for a run

Shamsi to van der Dussen, FOUR, innovative and the execution is spot on too! Tossed up ball on middle, van der Dussen goes for the reverse sweep and nails it over backward point. He fell over after playing that but his head was in a good position, which helped him to get the momentum behind it

Ngidi to van der Dussen, FOUR, shot! van der Dussen is looking good today, his game is suited to this kind of track and he is looking at home. Length ball on off, van der Dussen lifts it through the line and gets it over the leaping fielder at mid-off and through to the fence. A brilliant Powerplay for the hosts, they have picked up 3 wickets already

Fortuin to Roelofsen, FOUR, shot! Gets the length he was looking for as he backs away and slaps it through extra cover for a rocketing boundary

Fortuin to van der Dussen, FOUR, that's innovative! Slow through the air outside off, van der Dussen goes for the fancy reverse sweep and connects brilliantly, gets it past backward point to find the fence

Fortuin to Brevis, out Lbw!! Brevis wastes a review! Coming in with the arm, Brevis comes a touch forward as he tries to tuck it across but plays around it to be rapped in front. Up goes the umpire's finger straightaway after the appeal. He took the review but we all knew the result. It's hitting leg stump. The visitors are in a lot of trouble early. Brevis lbw b Fortuin 2(10)

Fortuin to Brevis, out Sam Curran Run Out!! Brevis has sold his partner down the river! But, not good judgement from Sam Curran as well! This was totally unavoidable. Shorter in length, Brevis tucks it towards wide mid-on. He initially calls his partner through and Sam Curran responds. Miller is quick to get around it and throws it back to Fortuin who takes the bails off calmly. Curran is stranded at the other end as walks back dejected. Sam Curran run out (Miller/Fortuin) 2(3)

Fortuin to Rickelton, out Caught&Bowled!! Gone! Fortuin is once again bossing the powerplays, gets his 7th wicket in this phase in this tournament. He slows this one and bowls it teasingly on a length around off, Rickelton is not quite to the pitch of the ball but goes through with his push. Ends up chipping it straight to Fortuin and he accepts it gleefully. A bright start for the hosts. Rickelton c and b Fortuin 5(4) [4s-1]

Fortuin to Rickelton, FOUR, boundary first ball, starts with a tossed up ball outside off, Rickelton leans into it and just caresses the drive past extra cover and through to the fence
