Durban's Super Giants vs Paarl Royals Predictions

The Super Giants ended their campaign needing a win for any chance to make the playoffs, as well as needing the Super Kings to lose their last two matches. The Royals have won five of their last six completed matches, so it would be optimistic to be backing the Super Giants.

Durban's Super Giants Form

The Super Giants have lost two and won one of their last three completed matches.

Aiden Markram is the Super Giants’ leading run scorer, striking 201 runs (S/R 139.58) and top-scoring with 66 in their last match against the Royals earlier in the week. Jos Buttler has played some substantial innings in tallying 171 runs (S/R 151.7) and always has the potential to turn a match.

Liam Livingstone has shown his ability to score quick runs and averages 42.00 at a strike rate of 161.00. Eathan Bosch took 2/29 (econ 7.25) in the Super Giants’ last game and is his side’s leading bowler with seven wickets.

The Royals remained in top spot after picking up back-to-back wins against the Super Giants and the Capitals.

David Miller is the Royals’ kingpin with the bat, scoring 191 runs (ave 47.75), mostly in pressure-cooker situations. Rubin Hermann has been his side’s best batter in their last three matches, smashing scores of 35, 46 and 65*.

Sikandar Raza’s incredible season with the ball has seen him snag 13 wickets (econ 5.96), which has been key to the Royals’ success. Ottneil Baartman is the other huge factor in the Royals being in top spot as he leads the wickets list with 13 victims, three more than second-placed Raza. Nqobani Mokoena is fourth on the wickets list, taking 2/10, 1/33 and 2/56 in his last three matches.

Royals’ leading bowler Ottneil Baartman destroyed the Capitals - who were on a three-match winning streak - in taking 5/16 (including a hat-trick) to roll the Capitals for 127: “There were runs to be had if a batter batted sensibly, but if you bowl a good length there were wickets to be had. I just tried to hit the wicket hard to exploit the conditions. Raza is a world-class bowler, and a cool and calm guy who knows his game,” said Baartman.

Durban's Super Giants (squad): Aiden Markram (c), Jos Buttler (w), Heinrich Klaasen (w), Marques Ackerman, David Bedingham, Tony de Zorzi, Kane Williamson, Dayyan Galiem, Evan Jones, Sunil Narine, Andile Simelane, David Wiese, Eathan Bosch, Gerald Coetzee, Daryn Dupavillon, Kwena Maphaka, Noor Ahmad and Gysbert Wege.
