Their last match played on Tuesday the 21st was held at Kingsmead Stadium when they met with MI Cape Town. DSG won the toss and chose to field first but unfortunately after 11 overs of play, the match was abandoned with MI Cape Town on 69/3.
Despite the match being stopped in the first innings, Noor Ahmad picked up top bowling figures with 1 wicket for 7 runs in his 2 overs although from a betting standpoint any top bowler bets were void.
Prior to this match the Super Giants took on the Sunrisers Eastern Cape away from home and they lost by 6 wickets with 28 balls remaining.
PAARL ROYALS
Paarl Royals have had a superb start to the tournament, and they sit in 1st place on the table with 16 points after 5 fixtures, within these matches they have picked up 4 wins and taken just 1 loss.
The Royals took on Joburg Super Kings on home soil on Monday the 20th where they won the toss and chose to field first.
Their bowling attack was on good form early on, leaving JSK on 36-4 after 7 overs and although they let things slip slightly, they restricted their opponents to a total of 146/6 after 20 overs. Top Royals bowler was Bjorn Fortuin who claimed 2 wickets for 22 runs in his 4 over spell.
The Royals then started well with bat in hand but after the dismissal of both opening batsmen things slowed down and they managed to get to the target in the end with just 5 balls remaining, winning the match by 6 wickets.
Mitchell Van Buuren put in a solid shift with bat in hand to get his side close to victory, scoring 44 runs off 45 balls.

Durban Super Giants 2.10
Paarl Royals 1.75
Suggested Bet: Paarl Royals Top Batter – Lhuan-dre Pretorius at 3.60
I’ve been seriously impressed with the young gun’s talent in the SA20 so far and I am backing him to get comfortable at the crease and score another hefty total.
Suggested Bet: Durban Super Giants Total Ducks – Over 0.5 at 2.10
They are a side whose batting line-up has been falling apart and they have had a minimum of 1 duck in each of their games so far and I am betting on that run continuing.
