Team Previews
Paarl Royals
The Paarl Royals are coming off a 33-run loss to MI Cape Town, struggling with both bat and ball. While the bowling unit, led by Dayyaan Galiem (3/24), showed some promise, they leaked 172 runs in the first innings. Bjorn Fortuin provided good support with 1/24, but the rest of the attack lacked penetration.
In the chase, the Royals faltered, managing only 139/8 in 20 overs. Mujeeb Ur Rahman top-scored with a quickfire 34, while Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Joe Root contributed 26 runs each. However, the lack of partnerships and poor middle-order performance cost them dearly.
The team will rely on David Miller, Joe Root, and Mujeeb Ur Rahman to lead their respective departments as they look to avenge their loss.
MI Cape Town Preview
MI Cape Town produced a solid all-round performance in their last outing, starting with the bat. Reeza Hendricks played a match-winning knock of 59 off 37 balls, supported by Rassie van der Dussen (43) and Delano Potgieter (29). They posted a competitive 172/7.
Their bowling unit, spearheaded by George Linde (3/15) and backed by Kagiso Rabada and Rashid Khan (2 wickets each), was clinical in defending the total. MI Cape Town’s balanced lineup makes them strong contenders for this match.
