SA20: Durban Super Giants crush Paarl Royals

Chasing a mammoth 209 to win in muggy conditions in Durban, David Miller™s Paarl Rocks were always going to struggle.

Jason Roy provided some lusty blows to start their chase, but he and England opening partner Jos Buttler were back in the pavilion with just 24 on the board.

The Super Giants' bowling unit continued to pick up regular wickets and when captain Miller top-edged Ahmad for just three - leaving the visitors 51/4 - it was the beginning of the end.

The Afghan tweaker then dismissed Andile Phehlukwayo the very next ball and then ran through the Royals' lower order, ending with incredible figures of five for 11 as they were skittled out for 83

Earlier, the Super Giants we in some trouble at 48 for 3 in the sixth over. However, Matthew Breetzke and Aussie all-rounder Marcus Stoinis combined for an epic 102 partnership off just 65 balls before Breetzke fell to Tabraiz Shamsi.

Stonis fell in the same over and that brought Klaasen to the crease, who bludgeoned the fastest SA20 50 ever recorded in off just 16 balls to take the hosts past the 200 mark.
