Paarl Royals will take on Joburg Super Kings at their home venue. This will be the third home game of the Royals this season. They’ve won their last two matches here and will be eyeing a 3rd straight win.
Joburg Super Kings suffered their first loss of SA20 2025 in the last match against MI Cape Town. They failed to defend 172 runs, losing the game by 7 wickets. Their bowlers delivered back-to-back wins before this loss.
Joburg has great variety in the bowling attack. David Wiese, Gerald Coetzee, and Imran Tahir are the key wicket-takers for this side. There is plenty of help for the bowlers on this ground.
The last time Paarl Royals played here, they restricted the opposition to 158 runs while bowling first. Whereas, in the first game at this venue, the hosts successfully chased down 177 runs with 9 wickets in hand.
A balanced wicket will allow for a close contest between bat and ball. We expect the visitors to find their rhythm with the ball. They should pose a tough challenge to the in-form home team.

Paarl Royals are on a winning run with back-to-back wins in their last two games. They were exceptional at SuperSport Park in Centurion against the Capitals in the last match.
Joe Root’s unbeaten 90 off 60 balls helped the Royals chase down 213 runs with 8 wickets in hand. This was Paarl’s second successful run-chase in the last two outings.
Skipper David Miller also looked in great shape at number 4. Root and Lhuan-dre Pretorius are a promising opening duo and we expect them to deliver a good start.
The Royals have tried 3 different batters at number 3 in the last 3 games. Rubin Hermann scored a brilliant fifty at number 3 in the last match and should continue playing at the position in this home game.
In the lower middle order, the hosts have Dinesh Karthik and Mitchell van Buuren. Both of these batters can score quick runs and will be in a finisher’s role.
Paarl Royals pack a strong punch in the batting department. They can finish on a high with the likes of Miller and Karthik coming in at 4 and 5.
Right-arm off-break bowler Mujeeb Ur Rahman is the key wicket-taker in the bowling attack. He would also find from Dunith Wellalage and Joe Root in the spin bowling department.
Lungi Ngidi and Kwena Maphaka will lead the pace attack for Paarl Royals. The two haven’t been in great touch lately but will be expected to make a comeback in this game.
Root has been in good form this season, scoring 195 runs in 4 matches. He has scored over 25 runs in three of those matches, including two half-centuries. At Paarl, he has scored 77 runs in 2 matches this season.

Joburg Super Kings kicked off their SA20 2025 campaign on a winning note with back-to-back wins. The bowlers were on top of the game in each of these outings and also in their 3rd match that ended without a result due to rain.
The bowling is their biggest strength and can possibly get them ahead of the Royals in this match. The likes of David Wiese, Gerald Coetzee, and Imran Tahir add a lot of strength to this bowling attack.
They’ve been very promising in recent matches and will be the key players to watch out for. They’ve also got Tabraiz Shamsi and Matheesha Pathirana in the squad.
The bowling clearly looks much better and more promising than that of the home team. In the batting lineup, skipper Faf du Plessis has found his rhythm at the top and we expect another big knock from him.
Devon Conway opens the innings alongside the skipper and brings experience to the table along with some brilliant strokemaking. In the middle-order, there is the match-winning batsman Leus du Plooy, wicket-keeper bat Jonny Bairstow, known for his big-hitting abilities, and batting all-rounder Wihan Lubbe.
While Lubbe hasn’t scored much lately, he still holds a key position and adds depth to this batting lineup.
Du Plessis has scored 61, 1, and 30 runs in the three SA20 matches he has played this season. The Super Kings skipper boasts a strong record at Paarl, accumulating 282 runs in 11 matches at an average of 35.2. Against the Paarl Royals, he has scored 84 runs in 4 matches.

It will be clear and sunny with a high of 30 degrees Celsius in Paarl on the match day. There are no signs of clouds or rain and it should be a great contest between the two in-form sides without any interruptions.
It is a balanced pitch that offers help for both batters and bowlers. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches here is 146 runs. There should be an even contest between bat and ball in this game and as a result, we reckon a 170-run total will be a highly competitive score.
Paarl Royal won one of the four coin tosses this season, while the Joburg Super Kings won four of the four coin tosses this season.
The pitch at Boland Park, Paarl, offers a balanced surface, where the average total match score in the two SA20 matches played at this venue this season is 334 runs. Both the Paarl and Joburg batting units are in good form entering this contest. We predict a high-scoring game, with the total match score exceeding 325 runs.
Teams bowling first have won the last 5 matches at this venue in Paarl. The hosts won their last two games here while chasing a target this season. With the current batting form and depth in both lineups, we reckon both skippers will be looking to bowl first.
There is no clear winner between the two sides. Paarl Royals have the winning momentum and are successful at the home venue. Whereas, Joburg have a stronger bowling attack and a promising and deep batting lineup. Though Paarl Royals have the home advantage and have won back-to-back games, Joburg Super Kings have a strong bowling attack and along with the depth in their batting, the visitors find a slight edge in our match prediction.
