Big-hitting veteran David Miller and teenager Nqobani Mokoena carried the Paarl Royals to their first victory of this seasons SA20 league, as they edged hosts Sunrisers Eastern Cape by five wickets with just two balls to spare in Gqeberha on Wednesday.
Set a target of 150 runs to win, the Royals held their nerve at the death as they reached 150/5.
Though the visitors were left flailing at 35/4 after seven overs, captain Miller combined well with Keagan Lion-Cachet in a 114-run partnership for the fifth wicket.
