Match 23 Preview
Paarl Royals come into this fixture with 15 points from six matches, having won three games and lost two, with one no result. Their most recent completed outing was Match 19, where they fell 21 runs short against Pretoria Capitals at Boland Park. Chasing 139, the Royals never fully recovered from early pressure, despite David Miller’s 45 off 36, and were restricted to 117/6. With the ball, Sikandar Raza (2/13) bowled well, but the batting failed to take advantage of the power play.
Durban’s Super Giants, by contrast, will take confidence from their narrow 2-wicket win over Sunrisers Eastern Cape in Match 21 at St George’s Park. Chasing 159, they were always ahead of the curve thanks to an explosive start. Marques Ackerman’s 45 off 26 gave the chase momentum, while contributions down the order proved decisive when the chase began to wobble. With the ball, Noor Ahmed had the best figures with 1/20 in his 4 overs.
The Boland Park surface can slow as the game progresses, placing a premium on spin and change-of-pace bowling.
With both sides sitting on 15 and 14 points respectively, this match has genuine playoff implications, and DSG in particular cannot afford to lose.

Suggested Bets
Paarl Royals to Win @2.15
The Royals are well placed for the playoffs, and a win here would put them very much in top 2 contention. DSG have the more star-studded side but they have not performed consistently and at home I think Paarl should be at least level in the betting.
Top Paarl Royals Wicket Taker – Sikandar Raza @4.75
Raza continues to be influential with the ball, especially on slower surfaces. His ability to take wickets in the middle overs makes him a strong candidate in this market and he can add to the 11 wickets he has already collected.
Top Durban’s Super Giants Run Scorer – Marques Ackerman @6.00
Ackerman looked in superb touch against SEC and has shown the ability to score at tempo under pressure. Buttler is a worthy favourite at 3.65 but Ackerman is surely the value at almost double the price.
