Lhuan-dre Pretorious Shines In Paarl Royals' Win Over MI Cape Town

By IANS News January 16, 2025 • 10:26 AM View: 904

MI Cape Town: Rising star Lhuan-dre Pretorious is fast making himself an instant SA20 hero, scoring blazing half-century in Paarl Royals’ Cape derby win over neighbours MI Cape Town at Boland Park.

Pretorius smashed three sixes and eight boundaries in a 52-ball 83 to follow up his 97 on debut at the same ground. The 18-year-old has certainly become a fan favourite of the Royals in quick time.

Chasing down MI Cape Town’s 158/4, Pretorius benefitted from two dropped catches to power the home team to victory by six wickets to avenge Monday night’s defeat at Newlands.
