Delhi: In the history of T20 cricket, in a match, fast bowlers have been seen several times by throwing all 20 overs, but have you ever seen spin bowlers putting all the overs in the entire match. Probably not. But this unique incident took place on Saturday in the SA20 League. Parl Royals created history by putting all their over spin bowlers in the match against Pretoria Capitals. This is the first time in franchise cricket.

On behalf of Parl Royals, Byorn Fortuin, Dunith Vellage, Mujib ur Rehman, Nakaba Peter and Joe Root bowled four overs each. These bowlers gave 20, 16, 17, 33 and 32 runs respectively. Thanks to this brilliant performance by the spin bowlers, the team captained by David Miller successfully defended the score of 140 runs and won the match by 11 runs.

Parl Royals' playing XI included the only fast bowler as Dayan Galim, but due to the best performance of spinners, captain Miller did not use his bowling. In this match, Fortuin, Mujib and Root took two wickets each, while Vellage got a success.

Parl Royals, batting first, scored 140 runs at the loss of 4 wickets, in response to which the team of Pretoria Capitals could score only 129 runs losing 7 wickets in 20 overs.
