Pretoria Capitals vs Paarl Royals Predictions
Paarl Royals have started the season well while the Capitals have been tough to read with two of their four games being abandoned due to the weather. However, it is the Royals team who look very strong, so I’m sticking with them to win at Centurion.

- Pretoria Capitals’ Kyle Verreynne scored 39 runs in his last match.

- Paarl Royals have won their last 2 matches against the Pretoria Capitals.

Head to Head
The Royals have won three of their last five against the Capitals, including the last two encounters. They last met in January 2024, a game the Royals won by 10 runs.
Pretoria Capitals Form
The Pretoria Capitals are third on the table despite only winning one in four matches. They have lost once and had two no results due to the weather.
One such game came in their last outing. Batting first in Johannesburg against the Joburg Super Kings, the Capitals were on the ropes at 138/8 in their 20 overs. Kyle Verreynne top scored with 39 runs.
During the break, the rain started to fall in Joburg, and the game was called off after it was clear the rain would not stop.
Pretoria Capitals Injuries & Team News
The Capitals are not in good or bad form, they have simply been unlucky with the weather to date. I don’t see many changes to their side for this match.
Paarl Royals Form
Paarl Royals are fourth on the table but have won two of their three games to date. They are in a strong position and will look to capitalise in Pretoria.
The Royals beat the MI Cape Town by six wickets in their last match at home. Bowling first, they held the in-form MI Cape Town side to 159 in 20 overs.
Lhuan-dre Pretorius again showed his class at the top of the order in the chase, scoring 83 runs off 52 balls to see the Royals home with an over to spare.

Given the form of the side, I don’t expect many changes, but there could be a few rotations.
Verdict
The Paarl Royals are backed to win, and Lhuan-dre Pretorius is tipped to top score given his brilliant performances to date.
