Joburg Super Kings vs Paarl Royals Predictions

The Kings picked up their first win of the season to lift them off the bottom of the table, albeit that their victim was bottom-of-the-table Pretoria Capitals. Log-leaders Paarl Royals have now won four of their five matches after beating MI Cape Town at home.

Paarl Royals’ Jos Buttler (223 runs) is 2nd in the SA20 runs list.
Paarl Royals’ Jason Roy has scored 38 & 68 in his last 2 innings.
Joburg Super Kings’ Leus du Plooy has scored 48, 71 & 33 in his last 4 innings.
Joburg Super Kings’ Donovan Ferreira scored 56* off 20 balls in the win over the Capitals.

Head-to-Head

The teams have met three times in the SA20, with one match abandoned due to the weather. Their other two matches saw Paarl Royals win on both occasions by seven wickets.

Joburg Super Kings Form

The Kings ended a three-match losing streak by beating the Capitals by six wickets.

The Capitals recovered from 67/6 to reach 167/9 off their 20 overs. Lizaad Williams (3/26) and Romario Shepherd (3/39) were the pick of the bowlers.

The Kings fell behind the asking rate, before Donovan Ferreira smashed 56 off just 20 balls to power the Kings to their first win of the season.

Joburg Super Kings Team News

After an excellent batting display by the middle-order against the Capital, the Super Kings will be hoping their two openers will also find form soon.

Paarl Royals Form

The Royals bounced back from their first loss of the season, away to MI Cape Town, by returning the favour two days later by beating MI Cape Town in Paarl.

Paarl Royals racked up 162/3, with Jason Roy (58) and Jos Buttler (54) getting their side off to a great start.

MI Cape Town folded for the first time this season, as the Royals knocked them over for 103 in the 19th over. Bjorn Fortuin was superb in taking 3/15.

Paarl Royals Team News

David Miller retired hurt after taking a blow on the hand and is uncertain to start against the Kings.

Verdict

Joburg Super Kings v Paarl Royals

I am backing Paarl Royals to win. I am also backing Jos Buttler to top score for Paarl Royals.

Leus du Plooy is a good bet to top score for the Joburg Super Kings.
