Pretoria Capitals Vs Paarl Royals Head To Head [Source: @PretoriaCapsSA, @paarlroyals/x.com]
Pretoria Capitals are all set to take on the Paarl Royals in Match 12 of SA20 2025 on Saturday, January 18, at SuperSport Park in Centurion. With both teams packing firepower and coming in with points to prove, this clash promises to be a real nail-biter.
Pretoria Capitals
Pretoria Capitals haven’t had the best start to their campaign. Out of four matches, they’ve managed just one win, one loss, and two frustrating no-results thanks to the rain gods. Their last match against the Joburg Super Kings ended without a result.
Before that, though, they showed their class against Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Their bowlers were on fire, bowling the Sunrisers out for a paltry 113. Daryn Dupavillion was the pick of the bowlers, grabbing three crucial wickets, while Eathan Bosch, Jimmy Neesham, and Senuran Muthusamy bagged two each. It was a clinical bowling performance that completely dismantled the opposition.
When it was their turn to bat, the Capitals didn’t break a sweat. Marques Ackermann top-scored with a composed 39, and Will Jacks chipped in with a quick 27. They wrapped up the chase with six wickets and plenty of overs to spare. Heading into this match, Pretoria will want to rediscover that winning formula and get their season back on track.
Paarl Royals
On the other hand, Paarl Royals are looking sharp. They’ve played three matches so far, winning two and losing just one. Their last game against MI Cape Town was a statement win, with the Royals clinching victory by six wickets.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman was the standout with the ball, picking up two crucial wickets to restrict Cape Town to 158/4. The rest of the bowling unit kept things tight, making sure MI Cape Town couldn’t run away with the game.
The real star, though, was Lhuan-dre Pretorius. He played a breathtaking knock of 83*, single-handedly taking his team over the line. With back-to-back wins under their belt, Paarl will be brimming with confidence and aiming for a hat-trick of victories.
Ahead of the clash, here's a detailed look at the head-to-head record between the two sides.

Chasing 211, Pretoria gave it everything they had. Will Jacks played a blistering knock of 58 off 34 balls, and Rilee Rossouw kept the Capitals in the hunt with a stunning 82 off 45. But Lungi Ngidi’s fiery spell of 4 wickets was the game-changer, as Paarl Royals held their nerve to win by just 10 runs.
