David Miller is confident the Paarl Royals can bounce back in their SA20 qualifier playoff against MI Cape Town in Gqeberha on Tuesday.
The winner of Tuesday's match will progress automatically to the trophy decider at the Wanderers on Saturday.Despite losing their last two matches of the league stage, captain David Miller is confident the Paarl Royals can bounce back in their SA20 qualifier playoff against MI Cape Town in Gqeberha on Tuesday .
But Miller, who missed his team’s last two games due to a niggling injury, was unfazed by their recent results as they looked to book their place in the final. “For me the consistency this season has been phenomenal, and our last two games were losses, but if you look at the whole season we’ve been really consistent, so it’s really not a concern for me at all,” Miller said yesterday.“The guys are in a great space, rested up and obviously up for the battle tomorrow.
“I think they’re a phenomenal team, and they have a lot of match-winners, but I truly believe in T20 it’s really about seizing the moment, and it takes one or two guys to really stand up and take the game away from the opposition, and that’s hopefully going to happen tomorrow.”Meanwhile, Cape Town coach Robin Peterson admitted it was a relief to be contesting the playoffs after they missed out in the first two editions of the annual T20 campaign.
