Paarl RoyalsJoburg Super KingsThree consecutive wins at the start of the league gave Paarl Royals a major advantage for the rest of the season. However, their performance went off the track in recent weeks. In the previous fixture, the Royals witnessed a defeat against Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Except for Jos Buttler (38 off 22)) no other batter was able to perform at the start.
Dane Vilas (34 off 25) and Wihan Lubbe (27 off 20) gave a push to the overall score from the middle order.
Since the score was not big, the bowlers were under pressure from the start and hence failed to stop the opposition from winning the fixture. Andile Phehlukwayo picked up 3 wickets at an economy of 8.25 in 4 overs. Codi Yusuf and Nqaba Peter scalped a single wicket each.
The franchise will expect Jos Buttler and Andile Phehlukwayo to deliver again and help the team to not get eliminated.
Predicted Lineup: Dane Vilas, David Miller, Jason Roy, Wihan Lubbe, Jos Buttler, Bjorn Fortuin, Codi Yusuf, John Turner, Andile Phehlukwayo, Mitchell Van Buuren, Nqaba Peter
Joburg Super Kings failed to get a good start in the 2nd edition of SA20 and hence suffered throughout the season. They witnessed three consecutive losses at the start but recovered well enough to make it to the eliminator match.
Before coming to the Eliminator match, the Super Kings score a thrilling win in their previous fixture against the Super Giants. It was not a good day for the bowlers as Lizaad Williams picked up 3 wickets in 4 overs but his economy was 11.75. Doug Bracewell also picked up 2 wickets but he was also expensive as his economy was 10.
The onus came on the batters to complete the chase and the top order gave a good start. Faf du Plessis (57 off 29), Leus du Plooy (57 off 47), and Wayne Madsen (44 off 29) performed exceptionally well. The trio did the difficult work and helped the team to reach closer to the winning number.
Lizaad Williams, Faf du Plessis, and Leus du Plooy are the key players for the team.
Predicted Lineup: Faf du Plessis, Leus du Plooy, Reeza Hendricks, Wayne Madsen, Moeen Ali, Nandre Burger, Donovan Ferreira, Dayyaan Galiem, Imran Tahir, Lizaad Williams, Doug Bracewell
In both meetings between the two teams this season, Paarl Royals have come out as winners on both occasions. Joburg Super Kings have a very uncertain batting unit as their experienced players have failed to perform.
Paarl Royals have a good depth in their batting unit with players like Jos Buttler and David Miller as the primary performers. We predict a win for Paarl Royals on Wednesday.
