Paarl Royals have won three from three to top the table after a superb display of batting and bowling. MI Cape Town have lost two of their first three matches, but they have scored 207/5, 243/5 & 198/5 in their three matches, and could so easily have turned those two losses into wins.

  • MI Cape Town’s Ryan Rickelton (243 runs) is 1st on the SA20 runs list.
  • MI Cape Town’s Rassie van der Dussen has scored 24, 104 & 41 in his 3 SA20 innings.
  • Paarl Royals’ Jos Buttler has scored 39 & 70* in his last 2 innings.
  • Paarl Royals’ David Miller has scored 41 & 75* in his last 3 innings.

Head-to-Head


MI Cape Town won both of their matches against Paarl Royals last season.

After their great win against the Super Kings, MI Cape Town had victory snatched from their grasp in the last over by a firing Sunrisers attack.
