Durban Super Giants vs Paarl Royals, 18th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That was the final home game for DSG this season, and it ended in another defeat, leaving them stuck at the bottom of the table. They now have three games on the road and even if they win all three, they might struggle to make the top four. Paarl Royals, meanwhile, are very well placed at the top of the table. That's all we have from this one. Until next time, it's goodbye.

Miller | Royals captain: Chuffed and pleased with the results. Nice performance with the ball. Malinga came in there and pulled it back. 20 in his first over and then three good overs on the trot. He's got all the skills and showed what he's truly worth. We've had great starts at the top. Tonight shows that we do have depth in batting. Nice to close out the game the way we did. Pleased with Mitch, showed his class, and also Hermann who came out all guns blazing. It's challenging. Been a tough 24 hours. Chuffed with the guys' attitudes.

Maharaj | Super Giants captain: Maybe 15-20 runs too shy on a wicket like that. Pitch got a little bit better under lights. But I don't think we took pace off enough in the powerplay. We know Klaasy is due and hopefully he gets three big performances. Thank you to the fans. We appreciate you. Obviously the results haven't gone our way.

Fortuin | Player of the Match: It was on the slower side which is generally what you expect here. Didn't expect it to be that slow. We're quite diverse as a group. We've got Rooty bowling off spin, myself left-arm and Mujeeb with mystery spin. We've set ourselves up nicely for the second half of the comp. Over the past few seasons I've been guilty of searching a bit too much and being loose.

20:52 Local Time, 18:52 GMT, 00:22 IST: Another strong performance from Paarl Royals who now have five wins in six matches this season as they consolidate their place at the top. The chase was quite a comfortable one thanks to the fireworks in the powerplay - first by Pretorius and then by Hermann. It didn't leave the Durban spinners with much to defend, and allowed their middle-order to cruise towards victory. A lot of credit for this win should go to the Paarl spinners who were brilliant. Fortuin, Mujeeb and Root combined to bowl 12 overs and gave away just 54 runs between them, while also picking up the wickets of the entire top four of DSG. The pitch was slow and stoppy, and they used the conditions to great effect, restricting the hosts to just 142.
