Nqobani Mokoena: "It is my first game here (at the Wanderers). It was quite tough in the beginning. Things were not going my way. The plan was quite clear. Looked to take the pace off and go wide with a shorter boundary there. The prep has been good for the batters. They know how to go about it."

11:05 pm IST, 7:35 pm Local Time: What an outstanding innings we've witnessed from James Vince, which has helped the side post a competitive 187 on the board. On a deck that clearly hasn't been the easiest to score freely on, his knock of 75 runs truly stands out as a masterclass in controlled aggression. After being put in to bat first, the opening duo of Vince and Faf du Plessis assessed the conditions perfectly. They played each ball on its merit, ensuring the scoreboard kept ticking over with minimal risks, brilliantly navigating the Powerplay to add 64 without loss and eventually putting on a solid 73-run stand for the first wicket.

The stability continued after Faf was cleaned up by a sensational delivery from Raza. Matthew De Villiers joined Vince and seamlessly continued the momentum, adding another crucial 56 runs for the second wicket. With the score at a promising 152 after 16 overs, the stage seemed perfectly set for the power-hitters to launch a final assault. However, the lower middle order just couldn't capitalize, failing to add significant runs in the last four overs, leaving JSK slightly short of a potential 195+ score.

Credit must be given to the Paarl Royals' bowling unit for their comeback. Raza, in particular, was simply sensational once again. He claimed two vital wickets, breaking both the significant opening and second-wicket partnerships just as they threatened to take the game away from the Royals. Hardus Viljoen, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Mokoena each picked up a wicket as well, ensuring JSK finished at a competitive 187/6. While the target might not appear daunting on paper, this tricky pitch combined with the Paarl Royals' occasionally vulnerable batting lineup means the Joburg Super Kings will feel they are firmly in the driver's seat at this midpoint. We'll be back shortly with the chase.
