The Paarl Royals are currently the joint favourites to win the tournament outright at 4/1, with the Pretoria Capitals sitting at 5/1 to win the tournament outright.
PAARL ROYALS
Captained by Protea David Miller, the Paarl Royals boast a strong squad comprising prominent South African players like Ngidi, Phehlukwayo, and Shamsi, complemented by international talents such as Jos Buttler and Obed McCoy. In the previous season, the Paarl Royals finished fourth, tied on points with both Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Durban Super Giants, who secured the third and fifth positions, respectively, all with 19 points. However, in the semifinals, they faced defeat against the Capitals, leading to their elimination from the tournament.
PRETORIA CAPITALS
With Wayne Parnell captaining the side, the Pretoria Capitals consist of some decent local players such as Rossouw, Ingram, and Pretorius, along with a few international players including Adil Rashid and Paul Stirling. After finishing first on the table last season, the Pretoria Capitals lost in the final against the Eastern Cape Sunrisers, securing a second-place finish in the tournament.
HEAD TO HEAD
The last encounter between these two sides took place in last year’s semifinals, where the Pretoria Capitals secured a 29-run victory on their home ground, earning themselves a spot in the final. In the league stage the Royals won by 6 wickets at home and the Capitals by 59 runs at Centurion.

Paarl Royals 8/10
Pretoria Capitals 11/10
Suggested Bet: Jos Butler to score more than 25.5 runs at 17/20
After being the leading run-scorer of the tournament last season, Butler has demonstrated his ability to score runs for the Paarl Royals and I am backing him to start strong this week.
Suggested Bet: Paarl Royals win at 8/10
Paarl Royals will aim for a strong start in front of their home crowd and the Capitals don’t seem to have quite the balance of last season. I think they will repat last seasons victory in this fixture.
