Viral Video: In the 14th Twenty20 match of the league on January 21, Paarl Royals defeated Mumbai Indians Cape Town by 59 runs, continuing their incredible run of form in the second season of the South Africa 20 League. But South Africa chinaman Tabriz Shamsi, who once again hit the mark with quick wickets, stole the show. However, it was his magic trick that went viral on social media that brought him to attention.
Jason Roy and Jos Buttler Shine
The MI Cape Town’s audacious choice to bowl first backfired as Englishmen Jason Roy and Jos Buttler’s outstanding opening partnership of 116 provided a solid foundation for the Royals side, who finished their innings at 162/3.
In response, the MICT batting order collapsed as they were bowled out for just 103 runs due to their total lack of strategy against the Paarl Royals’ outstanding bowling assault. Bjorn Fortuin’s 3/15 in four overs earned him the Player of the Match award.
Paarl Royals Bounce Back After Last Defeat
“Yeah. Good to get back on track. Especially, after the last defeat. Yeah. Not too happy actually. I would have liked to have some more sticks to my name but we know we aren’t playing for individual accolades. We knew it was going to be a bit slower. It is going to help the slow bowlers. The ball would turn later in the innings and we did well to bowl according to the plan,” said Paarl Royals player Bjorn Fortuin.
