Paarl Royals vs MI Cape Town Predictions


A local derby in the Western Cape promises to spring some surprises no doubt as the Royals host the pre-tournament favourites. Both teams have the same record so far so this will be a tough match to call on a wicket that is generally flat under the hot African afternoon sky.

  • MI Cape Town have their last 2 matches
  • MI Cape Town’s Dewald Brevis has averaged 33.25 runs in his last 5 innings

Head-to-Head


MI Cape Town won the only match between the teams by 8 wickets.

Paarl Royals Form and News


Paarl Royals are currently in fourth place after winning two matches from their five places. They are below MI Cape Town due to an inferior net run-rate.

Recent results have seen them beat the Super Kings by 7 wickets in Joburg and then lose by 27 runs at Durban Super Giants. A 10-run home win against the Super Giants would be their next fixture.

Their last match was a 5-wicket home loss to the Sunrisers Eastern Cape. The Royals scored a disappointing 127/5 in their innings as they struggled from the get-go with Wihan Lubbe top-scoring with 28. The Sunrisers chased it down comfortably and only lost 5 wickets in the process.

We expect the team to remain similar but may see a change or two in this must win match.

MI Cape Town Form and News


The MI Cape Town are currently in third place due to a superior net run-rate and have won two of their five matches. They have stuttered in their last two matches which is a concern.

Results of late include a 5-wicket home loss to the Super Giants and a 7-wicket win against the Super Kings. An away loss to the Sunrisers by 4 wickets would subsequently follow.

The most recent match saw the Cape side lose by 2 wickets against the Sunrisers at Newlands. Grant Roelofsen top-scored with 56 as they set a target of 172 for the Sunrisers. MI Cape Town were cruising until a freakish 66 off 27 balls by Marco Jansen blasted Sunrisers to victory against the odds.

We expect a similar team to play once again with the possibility of a rotation given the conditions in Paarl in the afternoon suiting quicker bowlers.
