Paarl Royals vs Durban's Super Giants Predictions

The Royals have won five of their six matches, including two wins on the bounce in their last two matches to book their spot in the knockout stage. The Super Giants bounced back from two consecutive losses to pick up their fourth win to put themselves into an excellent position to qualify for the knockout stages.

Paarl Royals’ Wihan Lubbe has scored 39 & 57 in his last 5 innings.
Paarl Royals’ Jos Buttler has scored 70*, 46, 54 & 22 in his last 4 innings.
Durban's Super Giants’ Matthew Breetzke has scored 43, 33, 35 & 48 in his last 5 innings.
Durban's Super Giants’ Wiaan Mulder has scored 52 & 38* in his last 2 innings.

Head-to-Head

The two teams met twice in the group stage last season, with each side claiming one win.

Paarl Royals Form

The Royals bounced back from a blowout with the bat against MI Cape Town to win their next two matches.

The Super Kings posted a defendable 168/3 at home off their 20 overs, with Andile Phehlukwayo (1/18) keeping the Kings in check during his three overs.

Wihan Lubbe (57) and Dane Vilas (42 off 26 balls) championed the Royals’ run chase, knocking off the winning runs with an over to spare.

Paarl Royals Team News

Paarl Royals are in good form and there is a good mood in the squad, so they are unlikely to make any changes to their team, unless David Miller recovers from his injury.

Durban's Super Giants Form

After their great start to the season, the Super Giants lost two matches in a row, but bounced back with a 36-run home win over MI Cape Town.

The Giants scored 157/6 off their 20 overs, Matthew Breetzke (48) and Wiaan Mulder (38* off 20 balls) starring with the bat!

MI Cape Town’s chase never got going and they ended on 121/9 off their 20 overs. Noor Ahmad (3/22) and Marcus Stoinis (3/18) starred with the ball.

Durban's Super Giants Team News

Durban's Super Giants look to have discovered their early season form and are unlikely to need to make any changes.

Verdict

Paarl Royals v Durban's Super Giants

I am backing Paarl Royals to win. I am also backing Wihan Lubbe to top score for Paarl Royals.

Matthew Breetzke is a good bet to top score for Durban's Super Giants.
