RECENT FORM
The Durban Super Giants currently top the log after winning 5 and losing 2 of their 7 matches and picking up a bonus point win in their first match against the Paarl Royals on Friday. The Paarl Royals are just 1 point behind in 2nd on the log after winning 5 and losing 2 of their 7 games, making this an important game for both teams.
These teams clashed on Friday evening in Paarl, where the Durban Super Giants won the toss and elected to bat first. They started off slowly, losing 2 wickets within the first 4 overs, however thereafter they stabilised before cutting loose and reaching a total of 190/3.
The top batsman on the night was Quinton De Kock who scored 83 off 51 balls.
From the Paarl Royals point of view, things looked good after picking up the early wickets but they couldn’t execute, and the bowlers began to struggle to keep things tight. Top bowler was Bjorn Fortuin who took 1 wicket for 32 runs in his 4 overs.
The Royals started off steady with the bat in hand, and with the run rate moving further out of reach, they had no choice but to go for it and the wickets began to fall. The Durban Super Giants bowlers and fielders kept runs to a minimum and managed to bowl the Royals out for 133 after 19.3 overs, resulting in the Royals falling 57 runs short of the target and giving up the bonus point.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Last season when these 2 sides met in Durban, the Durban Super Giants won the toss and elected to bat first putting up a total of 216/4 in their 20 overs. The Paarl Royals then put up a good fight during the chase, coming close but falling 27 runs short of the target in the end, with the Super Giants claiming victory.

Durban Super Giants 8/10
Paarl Royals 1/1
All prices subject to change.
Suggested Bet: Quinton De Kock to score 50 – yes at 29/10
Although Quinton hasn’t been on good form this season, I believe after his knock on Friday, he is at the turning point in his form and he will perform in front of an expectant home crowd.
Suggested Bet: Top Royals Bowler – Lungi Ngidi at 39/20
Ngidi has been in brilliant form this SA20 so far although Klaasens certainly took to him in that final over on Friday. and I believe he will carry his wicket-taking form into this match, making him my pick for this bet.
