It’s a big day at Boland Park as the Paarl Royals square off against MI Cape Town in Match 9 of SA20 2025 on Wednesday, January 15. After losing their previous encounter to MI, the Royals will be itching to turn the tables this time.

Paarl Royals

Paarl Royals haven’t had the best of starts, winning one and losing one. Their last match against MI Cape Town exposed a few cracks. Bowling first, they did well to restrict MI to 172/7, with Dayyaan Galiem leading the charge, taking 3/24. Bjorn Fortuin, Kwena Maphaka, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Lungi Ngidi chipped in with one wicket each, but the Royals struggled to contain runs in key moments.

With the bat, things went downhill quickly. Lhuan-dre Pretorious, Joe Root, and Sam Hain got starts but couldn’t convert them into big scores. The middle order comprising Mitchell Van Buuren, skipper David Miller, and Dinesh Karthik failed miserably as they managed single-digit scores. Chasing 173, the Royals crumbled to 139/9 and fell short by 33 runs. This time, they will need a collective effort to avoid another disappointment.

MI Cape Town

On the other hand, MI Cape Town are brimming with confidence. Reeza Hendricks was the architect of their previous win, smashing 59 off 37 balls. Rassie van der Dussen provided solid support with 43, helping MI post a competitive 172. The bowlers then ran riot with George Linde producing a match-winning spell of 3/15. Rashid Khan and Kagiso Rabada chipped in with one wicket each to ensure a comfortable victory. MI Cape Town will look to replicate this performance and seal another win against the Royals.

Top 3 Captain and Vice-Captain Choices For PR vs MICT

1. Delano Potgieter

Delano Potgieter has been MI Cape Town’s man for all seasons so far. He’s been smashing it with the bat and destroying lineups with the ball. In just three matches, Potgieter has racked up 98 runs with at an average of 98.00 and a strike rate of 188.46. He’s the guy MI relies on to seal the deal in tough moments. And don’t forget his bowling. Five wickets in three games, including an unreal 5/10, proves he’s a proper game-changer and a perfect captain or vice-captain pick for your fantasy teams.

2. Lhuan-dre Pretorius

If there’s one name Paarl Royals fans are banking on, it’s Lhuan-dre Pretorius. The guy started the tournament with a bang, smashing a stunning 97 in his first game. His ability to go big and make the bowlers sweat is what makes him special. With 123 runs in just two matches and a stunning strike rate of 195.23, Pretorius is pure dynamite. He’s the Royals’ batting anchor and big-hitting machine rolled into one, which makes him an apt choice for captaincy or vice-captaincy.

3. George Linde

George Linde has been MI Cape Town’s go-to guy with the ball. His left-arm spin has been on point, making batters scratch their heads. Last game, he pulled off a brilliant 3/15, showing just how deadly he can be. Linde doesn’t just take wickets, he keeps things tight too, with an economy rate of just 5.75 this season. His accuracy and guile make him a match-winner in waiting and he could be a great pick to be captain or vice-captain.
