PR vs MICT Match Prediction & Analysis The games come thick and fast in T20 franchise tournaments and the SA20 is no different. Even though it feels like the competition began only a couple of days ago, this will be match nine with all five teams, apart from last year’s champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape, already having a win on the board. Although MI Cape Town currently lead the way and will put daylight between themselves and the chasing pack with another victory in this game, all of Joburg Super Kings, Pretoria Capitals, Durban’s Super Giants and Paarl Royals are hot on their heels. TEAMS PREVIEW Paarl Royals Preview Although Paarl Royals enjoyed a brilliant opening game victory over the 2024 SA20 champions, they were very much brought straight back down to earth by MI Cape Town at Newlands on Monday when they were beaten by 33 runs. But what will any coach or team manager want after a defeat? That’s right, the opportunity to right the wrongs immediately – and that’s exactly what the Royals will have the chance to do in this match when they come up against MI Cape Town once again. The performance was not a completely poor one and the bowling attack saw all five members pick up at least one wicket although it was only Bjorn Fortuin and Dayyaan Galiem who kept their economy rates at impressive levels. MI Cape Town Preview Taking on the same bowling attack as in match six, MI Cape Town’s Rassie van der Dussen and Reeza Hendricks who put on 79 runs for the second wicket partnership will be licking their lips! Ryan Rickelton missed out at the top of the order but the keeper-batter has an exceptional T20 record, particularly in South Africa, and he could well make up for it in this game. Then there is also the small matter of Colin Ingram at number four, not to mention Dewald Brevis at six, and plenty of other strong batting all-rounders in their line-up. With the ball, Delano Potgieter looks to be their weak link in an attack which has the left-arm pace of Trent Boult, which combines nicely with Kagiso Rabada’s right arm fireworks, not to mention the spin of Rashid Khan and George Linde! Weather Conditions There was rain at Boland Park on Tuesday but according to the forecasters Wednesday afternoon and early evening does not even have a threat of a downpour. The sun will be out with the temperature in the mid-twenties from start to finish. PR vs MICT Pitch Report Only six wickets fell in match three between Paarl Royals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape at Boland Park on the weekend and we expect the bowlers to have to work hard for their wickets once again in this game. Equally, a par score is unlikely to be any higher than 185. Toss: To Bowl Paarl Royals had no problem defeating Sunrisers Eastern Cape by fielding first in match three of the tournament so we predict that both captains will choose to bowl first if they win the toss ahead of this game.
