The SA20 2025 is approaching towards it's business end as Paarl Royals (PR) and Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC) are set to come up against each other in Qualifier 2 in Centurion on Thursday, February 6.
It's a do or die encounter as the winning team will go through to the final, and on the other side, the tournament will come to an end for the side losing.
Ahead of this mouthwatering clash, here is a look at the Dream11 predictions, the fantasy cricket tips, the pitch report and the best predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.
PR vs SEC, SA20 2025 Preview
Paarl Royals has had a fantastic tournament so far, finishing second in the league stage, winning seven of the ten games with only three losses. However, they failed to edge past MI Cape Town in the Qualifier 1, in what was a dominating bowling performance from the Cape Town based franchise.
Notably, the two of the three defeats of the Royals in the league stage came in the last two fixtures, including one against the Sunrisers Eastern Cape last weekend. That makes it three losses in three games and the chips are really down for the men in Pink.
On the other side, the Sunrisers Eastern Cape will be full of confidence as they are coming on the back of a comprehensive win over the Joburg Super Kings in the Eliminator game.
Aiden Markram and his men were at their best, with contributions coming from almost everyone at some stage of the game. Craig Overton alongside Marco Jansen will be a force with the new ball as we saw how the pace-duo made things difficult for the Royals in their last league game on Saturday.
The men in Orange have picked up form at the very right time of the competition after having a rough start to the league stage, losing each of their first three encounters. They now look to continue the winning momentum, going all the way and make it to their third SA20 Final in a row.
