Player of the Match: David Miller
“The squad scored crucial points today, which made the home crowd delighted, but the Paarl Royals dragged things out longer than necessary. When Will Jacks put Dane Vilas and Jos Buttler in the same over during the chase, it shocked them from their excellent start. Van Buuren struggled and ate some dot balls, which allowed the Capitals to retake the lead while Miller had the situation under control. Miller successfully drove the Royals home after Nortje attempted to steal the game.”
