PR vs DSG Dream11 Prediction [Source: @DurbansSG, @paarlroyals/x]
Table-toppers Paarl Royals (PR) will host cellar-dwellers Durban’s Super Giants (DSG) in match number 23 of the SA20 2025 season on Monday, January 27. The action is slated to commence from 9:00 PM IST onwards at the Boland Park in Paarl.
The Paarl Royals franchise is fittingly ranked at the top of the SA20 2025 points table for securing six wins from their seven matches. Moreover, David Miller’s troops have recorded five of those wins in succession, and their NRR currently reads a formidable 0.281. The Durban’s Super Giants team, on the other hand, is languishing at the bottom of the table with just a solitary win to their name from six completed fixtures. With five defeats and two no-results, the Super Giants’ NRR reads a dismal -1.706.
Boland Park, Paarl – Pitch Report For Match 23 Of SA20 2025
The Boland Park in Paarl, unlike other South African venues, tends to provide considerable assistance to spinners. Fast bowlers will likely struggle to extract significant bounce and movement from the surface. Batters can play their strokes after settling in at the crease, and the average first innings total here this SA20 2025 season has amounted to 154 after the first four matches. The captain winning the toss will likely opt to field first, considering the chasing sides have won three and lost just match here off late.
