On the other side, Paarl Royals delivered a mixed stretch of performances. They also collected five victories from ten matches, showed good intent in several contests, and created useful opportunities along the way. However, they did not convert crucial situations as efficiently, and that loss of control during tight moments affected their overall placement in the standings.
Therefore, the final ordering showcased how execution beyond simple win counts shaped the table. While Sunrisers Eastern Cape maximised their chances and handled turning points with maturity, Paarl Royals slipped to third place as they searched for more consistent closing in high-stakes passages.
