In a hilarious outcome in the SA20 league, Paarl Royals got bowled out for 49 runs while chasing 186 runs against Sunriser Eastern Cape on December 28. And this reminisces the shambolic innings of Royal Challengers Bengaluru when they were bundled out for the same in 2017 against Kolkata Knight Riders.
