Team News
David Miller's absence turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Dane Vilas, whose explosive innings powered the Royals to a thrilling win against MI Cape Town. But with Miller on his way to recovery, it'll be interesting to see if there's a direct swap with Vilas in the line-up. The Royals have been pretty consistent with their Playing XI since the start of the tournament, and it has served them well from a success perspective. There has been no other official injury news from the dugout so far.
