Captain David Miller has given a big statement about the team not reaching the finals. They said,
Of course, we are deeply saddened by this loss. We proved expensive in an over or so during the bowling but that happens often in T20s. Obviously we are disappointed. The ball was also moving a little. The way we bowled, 145 was a par score. We did much better during this period. This competition was very strong. The teams battled it out until the very last moment to make it to the semi-finals. Although it is disappointing to end your journey in this way.
Let us tell you that the Paarl Royals, who started chasing the target, got a big blow in the very first over. Opener Jason Roy was dismissed without opening an account. Paul Stirling scored 21 runs off 14 balls, Dane Vilas also scored 18 runs but neither batsman could play a big innings and the team kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Captain David Miller definitely scored 31 runs off 27 balls but he did not get the support of the rest of the batsmen and for this reason the whole team was dismissed for 124 runs in 19 overs.
