Paarl Royals will be up against Durban Super Giants in the 23rd match of the SA20 2025 season. The clash will be held on January 27 at the Boland Park starting from 9.00 PM IST.

Paarl Royals

Paarl Royals are seated at the top of the points table with 6 wins in 7 games. In their last clash, the Royals sealed an 11-run victory in a low-scoring thriller. Joe Root once again unleashed his brilliance to slam 78* off 56 balls to power the Royals to a decent total of 140 runs. 

Meanwhile, Pretoria Capitals collapsed in the second inning after Bjorn Fortunin, Mujeeb and Joe Root scalped two wickets each. That being said, Paarl Royals have been in the best form this season and are poised to make it to the playoffs conformably.

Durban Super Giants

Meanwhile, the Durban Super Giants’ season is more or less over as they are seated at the bottom of the table with just one victory in 8 games. They lost their previous game against MI Cape Town by 7 wickets. Despite Kane Williamson’s half-century, the rest of the batting lineup’s collapse restricted the Super Giants to 149 runs total at the end of the first inning. 

Meanwhile, MI Cape Town cruised through the chase with Rickelton’s 63 off 41 balls. George Linde smashed a blazing 29 off 8 balls to power Cape Town to a comfortable victory in 14.5 overs. Needless to say, Durban Super Giants’ playoff hopes are shattered as they are just mathematically alive in the chase.
