Paarl Royals vs Joburg Super Kings Preview


The Super Kings need a win to secure the last playoffs spot, but the Royals are backed for victory to end the group stages at the top of the standing. 

  • Paarl Royals’ Rubin Hermann has scored 35, 65* & 46 in his last 4 innings.
  • Paarl Royals’ Dan Lawrence has scored 63 & 41 in his last 3 innings.
  • Joburg Super Kings’ Dian Forrester has scored 165 runs this season (S/R 170.10).
  • Joburg Super Kings’ James Vince has scored 75, 77 & 30 in his last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head


The Royals have won two and lost two of their last five SA20 matches against the Super Kings. Their most recent meeting 10 days ago was rained-out after the Super Kings had posted 187/6 off their 20 overs.

Paarl Royals Form


After claiming back-to-back wins over the Capitals and the Super Giants, the Royals suffered a heavy defeat to the Super Giants.

The Royals’ top order failed to fire again as they lost to the Super Giants by 58 runs. Bjorn Fortuin top-scored with 35* off 24 balls batting at number eight, with Kyle Verreynne (23) and Sikander Raza (21) chipping in with runs while the rest of the Royals batters faltered.

Hardus Viljoen returned superb figures of 4/21 (econ 5.25) against the Super Giants following back-to-back returns of 2/25 and 2/17 against the Capitals. 

Leading wicket-taker Ottneil Baartman (1/35, econ 11.66) took some tap, as did 3rd-placed bowler Sikander Raza, whose run of great bowling ended after his four overs were smashed for 57 runs (econ 14.25).

Joburg Super Kings Form


The Super Kings have lost their last four completed matches, the most recent being a 21-run defeat to the Capitals.

The Super Kings' poor form continued in their last match, which could have secured their place in the playoffs. 

After Daniel Worrall (2/12, econ 3.00) and Wiaan Mulder (2/34, econ 8.50) had reduced the Capitals to just seven runs for the loss of five wickets, they allowed the visitors to recover and post 143/6 off their 20 overs. 

The Super Kings themselves then collapsed to 68/6, before a defiant 44* off 33 balls from Dian Forrester kept them in the hunt. Duan Jansen scored 15 batting at number nine, but the task was too big for the Super Kings.

Team News


Super Kings skipper Donovan Ferreira is an injury concern ahead of this clash after being forced to retire after facing just one ball in the run chase against the Capitals. 

Paarl Royals (possible XI): Kyle Verreynne (w), Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Rubin Hermann, Dan Lawrence, David Miller (c), Sikandar Raza, Delano Potgieter, Hardus Viljoen, Waqar Salamkheil, Bjorn Fortuin, Ottneil Baartman.

Joburg Super Kings (possible XI): James Vince, Rivaldo Moonsamy (w), Matthew De Villiers, Leus du Plooy, Wiaan Mulder, Donovan Ferreira (c), Dian Forrester, Duan Jansen, Akeal Hosein, Daniel Worrall, Nandre Burger.

Verdict

I am backing the Royals to win, with Rubin Hermann to top score.
