Pre-Match Analysis:
Paarl Royals secured playoff qualification well in advance losing their final 4 league games which didn’t make much impact however they did miss out on finishing in the top 2 of the standings. Batting hasn’t clicked lately which led to their 4 straight losses. Their league campaign came to an end with 5 wickets defeat to Sunrisers Eastern Cape. They have a lot of constraints in their squad as they lack a big hitter in the middle order and are over-dependent on their English openers Jos Buttler and Jason Roy. David Miller’s below-par performance isn’t a good sign as the Royals skipper only managed 77 in the last 7 innings before scoring 75* and 41 against Pretoria Capitals. Speedster Lungi Ngidi is their best bowler with 13 scalps while the likes of Tabraiz Shamsi and Andile Phehlukwayo bagged 9 wickets apiece. They hold a 100 percent win record against Super Kings and are hopeful of maintaining the record.
Joburg Super Kings got into the Playoffs after a hard-earned 7-wicket win over Durban’s Super Giants in the penultimate league match. They do like pressure situations and when it mattered they chased a mammoth 203 runs with a ball to spare. Openers Faf du Plessis and Leus du Plooy kept them going, scoring 57 runs each. Wayne Madsen who was deployed particularly to tackle the spinners finished things with an unbeaten 44* runs and credit to Donovan Ferreira who played a cameo of 14* runs from 3 balls. Overall with 3 wins, 5 losses, and 2 no results, they finished 4th in the standings with 17 points. Overseas batter Leus du Plooy and seamer Lizaad Williams are their standout performers scoring 299 runs and picking up 15 wickets respectively.
