Defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC) will be hosting table-toppers Paarl Royals (PR) in match number 28 of the SA20 2025 season at the St George’s Park in Gqeberha on Saturday, February 1 from 4:30 PM IST onwards. The match marks the final league fixture for both sides this competition.

Ahead of this game, 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.

SEC vs PR, SA20 2025 Preview

The Sunrisers Eastern Cape started off its title-defense with three demoralizing defeats before attaining positive rhythm with four successive wins between January 17 and January 24. However, Aiden Markram and co. had their newfound winning momentum once again hindered with two huge defeats against Joburg Super Kings and MI Cape Town in the past week. With four wins at an expense of five losses from nine matches, the Eastern Cape franchise finds itself among the top four sides on the SA20 2025 points table, and is currently holding a topsy-turvy NRR of -0.526.

Captain Markram has admirably steered his team’s faltering batting lineup of late, with fast-bowling all-rounder Marco Jansen providing able support. Notably, they are the only Sunrisers players in SA20 2025 to maintain a strike rate above 130 among those with over 150 runs. Jansen is also one of the leading wicket-takers of the tournament.

The Paarl Royals franchise is fittingly occupying the top slot (as of match 26) on the SA20 2025 points table for accruing 28 points from nine matches courtesy of seven wins and just two defeats. Moreover, their NRR currently reads a formidable 0.139. Moreover, the Royals recently formed a streak of six straight wins, only hampered by Joburg Super Kings a couple of days ago in Johannesburg.

Much of Paarl Royals’ success can be attributed to the blistering batting form of teenage opener and season’s leading run-getter Lhuan-dre Pretorius, along with the experience and class of English legend Joe Root. While their fast-bowling attack has lacked bite at times, the collective spin brilliance of Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Bjorn Fortuin has provided them the desired crucial breakthroughs.
