Paarl Royals have been the dominating force in the tournament. They started the league with a win and continued a winning streak of 3 matches. After a loss in the 4th fixture against MI Cape Town, the Royals immediately made a comeback and scored a dominating win.
Jos Buttler is their highest scorer and second highest in the tournament with 245 runs in 6 matches at an average of 49. David Miller is following him with 162 runs in 5 matches at an average of 40.50.

Predicted Lineup: Jason Roy, Jos Buttler (c) (wk), Wihan Lubbe, Dane Vilas Mitchell Van Buuren, Andile Phehlukwayo, Fabian Allen, Bjorn Fortuin, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi, Obed McCoy
The two giants of the league are evenly matched and they both will be eyeing a confirmed spot in the playoffs. However, the Durban Super Giants have major problems in their middle order which has been inconsistent performers.
Paarl Royals have performed like a team and even after Millerβs absence, the equation of the team has not been affected. We predict a win for Paarl Royals on Sunday.
