Boland Park Paarl Pitch Report: Is It Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

The average run rate at Boland Park in SA20 2025 reads 8.6, signifying the track's balanced nature. The pitch in Paarl is slightly different from traditional South African tracks in terms of pace and bounce. It generally offers less pace, while lacking extra bounce, a factor that plays a crucial role in Centurion, Johannesburg and Cape Town. 

Furthermore, it's one of the rare South African venues where the spinners can capitalise on the playing conditions. Statistically, the spinners have bagged around 55 per cent of the total wickets, apart from runouts, in Paarl this season. 

Having said that, only 14 wickets, including three runouts, have fallen across four innings at this venue in the tournament. So, it's fair to say that the batters can score runs if they play sensibly and treat each ball on its merit. Considering the chasing side has won both games, the toss-winner will likely bowl first. 

Players To Watch Out For At Boland Park Paarl

Lhuan-dre Pretorius

  • Paarl Royals' in-form opener Lhuan-dre Pretorius is in sublime form, having struck 206 runs in the tournament at a blistering strike rate of 177.59. The swashbuckling southpaw could be a threat to JSK if he sees through the initial phase. 

Donovan Ferreira

  • JSK's premier all-rounder Donovan Ferreira was impressive with the ball against Durban and Pretoria earlier in the tournament. He can capitalise on the bowling conditions, especially if JSK bowl first. 

Mujeeb Ur Rahman

  • Afghanistan's renowned spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman has been a consistent performer for Paarl Royals, scalping seven wickets in four matches. Mujeeb can bamboozle the Super Kings with his guile and accuracy in the middle overs. 

P.S: Apart from these players, the eyes will be on Joe Root, Bjorn Fortuin (If plays), David Miller, Moeen Ali (if plays), Leus du Plooy and Devon Conway.
