Sunrisers Eastern Cape 

The upcoming game against Paarl Royals is Sunrisers Eastern Cape’s final chance to contest for a playoff spot. The two-time champions have had a roller-coaster season, with three wins in their last five matches. 

However, back-to-back heavy defeats against MI Cape Town and Joburg Super Kings have exposed their vulnerabilities. The team's inconsistency, especially in top-order batting collapses, remains a concern. Hence, they will need a more disciplined approach in the do-or-die game.

Paarl Royals

Paarl Royals, on the other hand, have booked their spot in the Qualifier contest with 28 points in 9 games. The table toppers have been in sensational form, winning four of their last five encounters. Their consistent performances in both batting and bowling departments have made them a top contender. 

Notable victories against Super Giants and Super Kings have further boosted their confidence. Overall, maintaining their current momentum could secure them the top position in the league standings.
