The Paarl Royals showcased the advantage of home conditions to get their Betway SA20 campaign back on track with a bonus point seven-wicket victory over the Joburg Super Kings at Boland Park.
After losing their opening match to MI Cape Town at Newlands earlier this week, the Royals treated their home crowd to a bowling exhibition in the searing Winelands heat.
