The stage is set at Boland Park in Paarl as the Paarl Royals lock horns with Joburg Super Kings in Match 15 of SA20 2025 on Monday, January 20. With both teams coming into this game on the back of contrasting results, this promises to be an electrifying encounter.
Paarl Royals
Paarl Royals are enjoying a stellar season with three wins from four matches. In their last outing, they chased down a mammoth 213-run target against Pretoria Capitals with eight wickets in hand.
After being put in to bowl, the Royals' bowlers, led by Dayyaan Galiem and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, who picked two wickets each, managed to restrict the damage despite Pretoria’s aggressive batting. Eshan Malinga chipped in with a wicket as well.
The chase was nothing short of a masterclass. Joe Root stole the show with an unbeaten 92 off 60 balls, while Rubin Hermann and David Miller chipped in with 56 and 48* runs respectively. The Royals crossed the line with two balls to spare, showcasing their batting firepower. They'll be eager to keep the winning momentum going and solidify their position at the top.
Joburg Super Kings
Joburg Super Kings have had a mixed campaign so far, with two wins, one loss, and one no result in their four games. In their last match, they suffered a seven-wicket loss to MI Cape Town, exposing cracks in their bowling department.
After electing to bat first, Joburg posted a competitive 172/5, thanks to Faf du Plessis (61), Devon Conway (35), and Jonny Bairstow (43* off 27).
However, their bowlers couldn’t defend the total, with only David Wiese and Matheesha Pathirana managing to pick up a wicket each. Joburg will need a much-improved bowling effort to tame the Royals' in-form batting lineup.

How Will The Boland Park Pitch Behave?
The Boland Park track has proven to be a track for batters. The ball comes onto the bat nicely, making stroke play a breeze. Pacers might enjoy some swing with the new ball, but as the match progresses, batting conditions only get better. Spinners have found little assistance on this surface, so it’s likely to be a high-scoring affair. With teams batting second winning both matches played here so far in the tournament, the toss will be crucial. Expect the captain winning the toss to opt to chase.
