DSG vs PR, SA20 2025 Preview
Durban’s Super Giants continue to languish at the bottom of the SA20 2025 points table. Ever since Keshav Maharaj and co. defeated Pretoria Capitals in their opening match of the tournament, the Super Giants have suffered three losses in their subsequent five fixtures, with the other two matches ending up as rain-induced no-results. Barring Kane Williamson, no other Durban’s Super Giants player has managed to score over 100 runs this SA20 2025 season. While pacers have struggled to make a mark for the Super Giants, spinners Noor Ahmad and Maharaj have managed to deliver timely breakthroughs.
The Paarl Royals team is fittingly occupying the top spot on the SA20 2025 six-team standings. Under the leadership of David Miller, the Royals has secured four wins from five league matches so far and is currently holding a formidable NRR of 0.044. The Paarl Royals team is on a three-game winning streak, and they will be aiming to sustain their prolific run as the franchise heads into the second half of the tournament. Much of the Royals success can be attributed to the blistering batting form of young opener Lhuan-dre Pretorius and senior man Joe Root. With the ball, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Dayyaan Galiem have emerged as their most successful bowlers off late.
