So, that's it from our side. The Warriors taste their first defeat of this season. They looked a bit lacklustre tonight and couldn't recover. The Royals move to the top of the tree courtesy this win. They impressed in all aspects of the game are are going from strength to strength. Join us tomorrow for some more fast-paced action from the CPL. Until next time, goodbye and cheers!
Rovman Powell: The game was done before the last over. To restrict such a powerful team was terrific work. Someone within our top five had to bat long and deep and fortunately, Quinton scored one of the better T20 hundreds. Credit has to be given to the team, in all the three areas we looked good. We have two days before the next game. We have to keep improving and cricket looks good for us so far.
Shai Hope: I think we probably gave away 20-30 runs more eventually but
Quinton de Kock | Player of the Match: Just trying to have a good time, just enjoying my cricket at this point. Not too sure to be honest, I made sure I capitalized and tried to take my team to a good total. To be fair, it just happened. My partner took a lot of pressure off me, he found it easy in the powerplay but I didn’t. I got going later on and I capitalized.
