SportzpicsJoe Root’s unbeaten 92 guided the Paarl Royals to a record-breaking run-chase away from home at SuperSport Park in Centurion, beating the Pretoria Capitals by eight wickets in their own backyard.
The right-hand-left-hand combination between Root and Hermann continued as the pair put together 125 runs for the second wicket partnership, with Hermann reaching his maiden half-century in his SA20 debut. “I am. It’s a great tournament. It’s great to be a part of it. Great to have an opportunity to play some T20 cricket. It was great to get across the line in a high chase like that," said Root.
“When you’ve got someone with that amount of experience, 500 plus games in this format and so many times he’s gone on from that position to win games, that can only be a really good thing for the team.
