Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Paarl Royals Preview


Paarl Royals have been in superb form all season and currently top the table. However, the loss of Joe Root means his experience and runs have left with him. The Sunrisers are also more desperate with a playoff spot on the line.

Head to Head


Sunrisers lead 3-2 in their five matches against the Royals. Earlier this season, the Royals were, however, comfortable victors in Paar.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape Form


The Sunrisers are having a strange season in 2025. After winning the last two editions of the SA20, they began 2025 with three successive defeats. That was followed by four straight wins before losing their last two games ahead of this fixture.

Run scoring has been an issue for the Sunrisers all season but their bowlers and a couple of solid innings by batsmen managed to get them into third place. However, in the last two games, the Sunrisers have been bowled out for 118 and 107 runs batting first.

David Bedingham fought a lone fight with the bat in Cape Town on Wednesday, scoring 45 runs against MI Cape Town. The 107 was never remotely enough and the hosts showed that the pitch was good by smashing their way to victory in 11 overs without losing a wicket. 

Sunrisers Eastern Cape Injuries & Team News


The Sunrisers need to get some batsmen in form with the entire team struggling for runs. Tony de Zorzi looked out of touch in the last game, as did Tom Abell. Aiden Markram may need to come in at three with Tristan Stubbs also moving up.

Paarl Royals Form


Paarl Royals are currently top of the SA20 table with seven wins in nine games. They could be second by the time this match starts, depending on whether MI Cape Town win their fixture on Friday night.

While the Royals have been in good form, they did lose their last fixture to the Joburg Super Kings. Batting first, the Royals posted 150 in 20 overs as Dinesh Karthik top scored with 53 runs.

The Super Kings chased the score with more than two overs to spare to win by seven wickets.

Paarl Royals Injuries & Team News


The loss of Joe Root for the rest of the campaign could hurt the Royals as his runs has been exceptionally important to date. Other that him, there is very little international experience within the batting side, bar for Karthik.

Verdict

The Sunrisers are backed to end their losing streak at home with David Bedingham to continue his fine form with the bat.

For the Royals, Rubin Hermann is backed in the best batsman market.
