The third edition of SA20 is up and running in style and Dinesh Karthik, the Indian star has made his debut for Paarl Royals. The wicketkeeper batter has straightaway got into the act as well, as he has grabbed a fantastic catch to dismiss Zak Crawley.

The Englishman was looking good till the time he lasted on the field. He scored 27 off 18 balls with one four and two sixes, and the opening stand reached 38 in the 5th over. However, on the fourth ball of the over, Zak Crawley danced down the track to hit a ball into the stands. Mujeeb though shortened his length cleverly and the ball caught the inside edge of his blade and it his pad.

The ball looped up in the air to the right of Dinesh Karthik and the wicketkeeper quickly put his hand up. So, he pushed the ball upwards and took the catch easily in the end. It was a much-needed breakthrough for the home team and in the same over, Mujeeb got the better of  Jordan Hermann.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape then lost the wicket of Tom Abell and have lost their way a bit after a good start to the proceedings. The defending champions are coming into this game on the back of a big loss in the first match after getting bowled out for just 77 and would be looking to come up with better goods against a quality team like Paarl Royals.
