However, men with international experience David Miller (65 not out) and Andile Phehlukwayo (56 not out) entered the arena and both played fantastic innings. With no further wicket loss, the win went to Paarl Royals. The winning partnership was 116 runs off 82 balls. Viv Kingma took 3-29, Aryan Dutt 1-12 in three overs.
