Paarl Royals (PR) and Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC) franchises will collide in the second qualifier match of the SA20 2025 season on Thursday, February 6. The match will be hosted by the iconic SuperSport Park in Centurion, and the action is slated to commence from 9:00 PM IST onwards. The winner of the much-awaited knockout will set a date with MI Cape Town in the grand finale.

Paarl Royals

How Will the SuperSport Park Pitch Behave?

While the SuperSport Park in Centurion has behaved unevenly this SA20 2025 season, the wicket here is still largely conducive for batting. The average first innings total at the venue in the ongoing tournament has amounted to 166 after five matches. Fast bowlers will also be expected to receive early lateral movement with the new ball, before batters can dominate proceedings in the middle.

Players To Watch Out For In PR vs SEC Qualifier 2

Paarl Royals

Lhuan-dre Pretorius

Teenage batting sensation Lhuan-dre Pretorius has hauled the highest number of runs among all Paarl Royals players this SA20 2025 season. With 338 runs in just 11 innings at an average of 30.72, the youngster is also ranked second among the leading run-getters of the season overall.

Dayyaan Galiem

Dayyaan Galiem has taken eight wickets for the Paarl Royals in SA20 2025. The speedster is also capable of going big in the slog overs of the innings with the bat, and he already has two half-centuries in the format to his name.

Rubin Hermann

Rubin Hermann has tallied 252 runs in just eight innings for the Paarl Royals in SA20 2025. The left-handed batter is capable of anchoring the innings in case of a batting collapse.

Mujeeb ur Rahman

While spinners are not expected to play a major role on the SuperSport surface, Afghanistan cricketer Mujeeb ur Rahman has punched above his weight to collect 14 wickets in just 11 innings in SA20 2025 season. Rahman has claimed the highest number of wickets among all spinners off late, and he holds a penchant of restricting the opposition’s run-flow in the middle overs.

Liam Dawson

Liam Dawson has ably assisted in-form fast bowler Marco Jansen by making crucial breakthroughs at various stages of the tournament. In the ongoing season, he has claimed 12 wickets in 10 matches at an average of just 14.75.

David Bedingham

David Bedingham is only behind Aiden Markram in terms of Sunrisers Eastern Cape’s leading run-scorers of the SA20 2025 season. The 30-year-old has made 227 runs at a strike rate of nearly 123.
