Head-to-Head

The Royals have won three of the last five matches between the two teams. One match was rained-out. The Super Kings won one of those five matches. The Kings’ win was in the last match between the two sides and was by nine wickets.

Paarl Royals Form

The Royals beat the Pretoria Capitals by eight wickets to secure their third win from their first four matches this season.

The Capitals posted an impressive 212/5 off their 20 overs. Dayyaan Galiem (2/41) and Mujeeb Ur Rahman (2/28) performed the best with the ball.

After losing star young batter Lhuan-dre Pretorius off the first ball of the innings, Joe Root (92* off 60 balls) and Rubin Hermann (56 off 33) added 125 for the second wicket in 12 overs. David Miller (48* off 24 balls) and Root added 88 for the third wicket to take their side to an eight-wicket win with two balls to spare.

Paarl Royals Team News

The Royals are in great form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Joburg Super Kings Form

The Super Kings won their opening two matches before their third match was rained off. Their last match saw them pick up their first defeat of the season after MI Cape Town’s superb run chase at Newlands.

Devon Conway (35) and Faf du Plessis (61 off 38 balls) added 97 for the first wicket off 11 overs. Jonny Bairstow added a quick-fire 43 off 27 balls to boost the Super Kings to 172/5 off 20 overs.

MI Cape Town stormed to a seven-wicket win with 25 balls to spare. David Wiese (1/20, econ 7.05) and Imran Tahir (0/22, econ 7.33) were the only bowlers to go for less than 10 runs to the over.

Joburg Super Kings Team News

Joburg Super Kings are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team. They also have a power-packed batting line-up that is likely to enjoy the pace of the Paarl Royals’ home pitch.
