Paarl Royals are missing out on some key players in their batting unit. They have some international stars but they are not T20 expert batters. In this case, the bowling unit will be under pressure.
MI Cape Town came out as a strong team with good depth in their batting unit. They also have a good lineup of bowlers in the team who can control the run rate of the opposition. We predict a win for MI Cape Town on Monday.
