Preview

Pretoria Capitals will lock horns with Paarl Royals in 1st Semifinal match of the SA T20 League at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on February 08. The Capitals finished the league stage as table toppers and have seven wins from 10 matches. On the other hand, the Royals have won four league matches and finished the group stage in fourth place in the points table. Capitals and Royals fought against each other in their last match and gave a view of what this coming semifinal might look like. The Royals won the toss and elected to field. Having put to bat first, the Capitals made the most of it and posted a mammoth total of 226 at the expense of five wickets at the end of 20 overs. Mendis played a fantastic knock of 80 to help his team post such a total. He was helped by Salt and Ingram with their cameos too. The Royals got a solid start when returning to chase, but except for Buttler, no other batter seemed to be in control. They could only manage to score 167 runs at the loss of nine wickets and hence lost the match by 59 runs. Though Neesham was expensive, he brought in three wickets in return. Pretorious and Rashid scalped two wickets each too.
