JOBURG SUPER KINGS
The Joburg Super Kings are in 4th place overall battling to hold onto their position and make qualifiers. They have played 8 matches and totalled 15 points which leaves them just 1 point above Pretoria Capitals.
Their most recent match was played at SuperSport Park where they took on the Pretoria Capitals, losing the toss and being sent into bat first.
They struggled to get going with bat in hand and to hold onto wickets throughout the innings which resulted in them reaching a disappointing total of 99/9. Their best batsman was Johnny Bairstow who scored 30 runs off 32 balls.
Their bowling attack took a few wickets, but they were unable to restrict the Pretoria Capitals run rate which resulted in a 6-wicket loss with 48 balls remaining. Top bowling figures were claimed by Lutho Sipamla who took 3 wickets for 26 runs in his 4 over spell.
PAARL ROYALS
The Paarl Royals have had a near perfect campaign this season, playing 8 matches and winning 7 of them with just a single loss. Royals sit far ahead of the rest of the pack on 28 points.
They had their most recent fixture against Durban Super Giants on Monday the 27th of January where they lost the toss and were sent into bowl in front of a home crowd.
They put decent pressure on their opponents early on, but later in the game they allowed small partnerships to form which led to a total of 143/7 being put up by the Super Giants. Top Bowler was Bjorn Fortuin who took 2 wickets for 20 runs in his 4 overs bowled.
Despite the Royals losing their top 3 batsmen as the innings commenced, they set their batting line-up for the win, and although it came down to a nail biter, the Royals won by 6 wickets with 1 ball remaining.
The star with bat in hand was Rubin Hermann who ended on 59 runs off 51 balls.

Joburg Super Kings 2.05
Paarl Royals 1.83
Suggested Bet: Batsman Total Match Sixes – Rubin Hermann Over 0.5 at 2.10
Hermann is a batsman who has been scoring some decent totals in the past few games and while playing in the shadow of Pretorius he has made many important contributions and has cleared the ropes 9 times already.
Suggested Bet: Bowler Total Wickets – Lutho Sipamla Over 1.5 at 3.00
Sipamla has found his bowling form in the back end of the tournament, specifically in his last two matches where he has picked up 3 wickets in each game. With his tail up he looks worth following.
