The win was set up by the Paarl Royals bowlers, with Baartman the standout performer, picking up a sensational five-for. He delivered the goods with the new ball and then returned at the death to rip through the lower middle order. He also claimed a hat-trick and simply blew away Pretoria Capitals with his remarkable bowling! What an outing for him! Raza, Fortuin, and Viljoen were miserly as well. In reply, Royals' openers perished in single digits but Hermann then steadied the ship with a well-orchestrated 46, while Lawrence chipped in with 41 to make light work of the chase. Miller ensured there is no panic towards the end and his cameo helped get hold of the bonus point as well. As a result of the thumping win, Royals climb to the top of the tree

Ottneil Baartman, Player of the Match: Just tried to hit the wicket hard, obviously there was a little bit of bounce, tried to exploit the conditions. Playing cricket for a while now, somebody needs to step up and exactly what happened today. (Raza) is a world-class bowler, cool and calm guy, knows his game. (On hat-trick) I was thinking about it (on both occasions), it's a good bowling surface. There were runs to be had if batter batted seinsibly but if you bowl good length, there were wickets (available)

Kg: "From looking like not being able to score a run in their first game, to topping the table. PR have come a long long way in this tournament"

Kg: "the over the killed the chase. poor bowling from Russell there - too short or too full and giving all the pace to the batters"
