Joe Root was at his best as struck an unbeaten 78 & claimed two wickets to help the Paarl Royals beat the Pretoria Capitals by 11 runs.
Joe Root struck an unbeaten 78 as the Paarl Royals beat Pretoria Capitals to get into the playoffs of the SA20.
Root showed off all experience and class to navigate a slow Boland Park surface in the searing midday sun. The former English captain was the epitome of orthodoxy as he drove beautifully down the ground, but also showed that he had the ability to innovate with a majestic switch hit off Will Jacks. “Most important thing is to read the surface and figure out the score you need,” Man of the Match Root said. “Today was a case of being brave enough to take it deeper and you might have a better match-up down the line. Thought we did that pretty well.”
