Overview
- Durban Super Giants posted 189/7 at Kingsmead, built around captain Aiden Markram’s 108 off 58 balls for his second T20 century.
- Hardus Viljoen led the Paarl Royals attack with 4/21, but Durban’s middle order added enough support to set a defendable total.
- Paarl were limited to 131/9 in reply, with Bjorn Fortuin top-scoring on 35 not out as Sunil Narine took 2/18 and six DSG bowlers shared wickets.
- The victory was Durban’s third of the season and lifted them to fourth place temporarily, keeping their playoff chances alive.
- Durban could still be eliminated if Joburg defeat Pretoria later in the day, while already-qualified Paarl remain top and pursue a top-two finish with one league match to play.
