Capitals vs Royals, 18th Match at Paarl, SA20, Jan 22 2023 - Ball by Ball Commentary

oh that's actually a sensational shot. It was a good yorker, but he opened the face of the bat, threading the needle through the gap at point on the offside. Very measured chase from Paarl Royals, who never quite let the target get out of control

eased through the offside to level the scores

squeezed behind short fine, and it's four more. That should be the game. Full and straight, but the inside edge was fine enough to seal the Capitals' fate

Nortje bowls a slot ball which Miller absolutely nails over exra cover for four. It was a half-volley which lit up Miller's eyes, and he dispatched it to the boundary. Unfortunately for him, he chooses the worst possible time to bowl the most hittable delivery of his spell

was there to be dispatched, but he can only slash it to fine leg. David Miller refuses the single

follows him as he backs away. Hits his pads and they can only run a leg bye

dipping yorker tailing back into Miller. He squirts it out to wide long-on and scampers back for another two

tries a smear through the onside, only to get a fine innder edge, which lets them come through for two

but he follows it up with a slot ball which is crunched through extra cover

unhittable bowling. Unlucky to even concede one. Perfect yorker that only just misses the base of off stump but he squeezes it over the keeper

thuds into the pads and deflects for a leg-bye. Magnificent over from Nortje

fortunate to get away with just two. It was trailing down leg, which he clipped off the pads. Sensational diving effort from the keeper to get fingertips to it to break the ball's momentum

sneaks underneath the bat to make it three consecutive dot balls

kisses the pad on its way through to the keeper. NIce first half of the over from Nortje

steps away in an attempt to carve it over the infield on the offside, but he bat hits fresh air instead

eases this one towards cow corner for a single

googly that he started from outside off. Was there to be cut away but that shot finds the fielder

gets across and gets underneath it! Picks it up over fine leg and places it well enough to add a precious four to the total

carved through the offside for another single

tosses in a googly but it's a tad short, allowing the South African to adjust and place it through the extra cover region

kept a little low in line of the stumps. Jabbed into the midwicket region

bowls full. It's worked into the onside for a single
