The 18-year-old batter ended up making 83 off 52 balls with the help of eight boundaries and three sixes. While chasing the total of 158/4 that was put up by MI Cape Town, Pretorius took full advantage as he was dropped twice. He dominated the left-arm spinner George Linde as he smashed two massive sixes over the leg-side boundary.

Previously, MI Cape Town posted a challenging total on the back of an unbeaten knock of 91 from Rassie van der Dussen. Rassie played a total of 64 balls and hit five fours and five sixes in his innings. Reeza Hendricks also contributed with a handy 30 runs but his wicket slowed down the run-scoring pace of MI Cape Town.

On the back of this win, Paarl Royals have come up to second place on the points table while MI Cape Town stays at the top with nine points.
