PC vs PR, SA20 2025 Preview
Pretoria Capitals has managed to secure a win and a defeat from their two completed league matches this SA20 2025 season. Their remaining two planned fixtures, against Durban’s Super Giants and Joburg Super Kings were both washed away due to rains. With nine points from four games, the Capitals’ NRR currently reads 0.894. Will Jacks and Afghanistan international Rahmanullah Gurbaz have been in prolific touch with the bat for the Capitals, considering both cricketers smeared sizzling half-centuries against the Super Giants last week. With the ball, left-arm spinner Senuran Muthusamy has taken the highest number of wickets among all Capitals players this season.
The Paarl Royals, on the other hand, have defeated Sunrisers Eastern Cape and MI Cape Town with emphatic margins to accumulate eight points from just three matches. Another win over Pretoria Capitals at this stage of the tournament will help Royals become one of the top three sides on the six-team points table. Young opener Lhuan-dre Pretorius and senior Englishman Joe Root will start as some of the primary and in-form players with the bat, while spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman will be aiming to sustain his wicket-taking spree this tournament.
