The SA20 league stage is in its last phase and the team that has been dominating the tournament right now is the who are currently on top of the table with six wins and only one loss in the seven matches that they have played so far.

Paarl Royals became the first team to qualify for the playoffs for the 2025 edition of the SA20 after beating the Pretoria Capitals in their seventh encounter of the tournament. Royals have set an example in putting 'horses for courses' to use in style and that helped them achieve a unique feat.

Paarl Royals became the first team to bowl 20 overs of spin during the SA20 contest against the Pretoria Capitals in Paarl on Saturday.

England legend Joe Root struck a masterful 78 not out and claimed two wickets to steer the Paarl Royals into the playoffs at a fiercely hot Boland Park on Saturday afternoon. The Royals became the first team in Season 3 to qualify for the next stage of the competition after their 11-run victory over Pretoria Capitals.
