Paarl Royals

As David Miller continues to lead the Paarl Royals this season as well, he will be aiming to take the team an extra mile this time around. Kickstarting the tournament on the home ground and in front of the crowd, the Royals would be keen to begin their campaign with a win.
Having the likes of Jason Roy and Jos Buttler at the top, who possess the ability to rattle any bowling line-up, as always, will make the powerplay count with their explosive hitting skills. When it comes to the middle-order, the young Irish blood, Lorcan Tucker, and the experienced Dane Vilas will add more power, along with the finishing skills from David Miller and Fabian Allen.
Looking at the bowling attack, the likes of Lungi Ngidi and Bjorn Fortuin will be making the most of the seaming conditions. Meanwhile, Tabraiz Shamsi and Fabian Allen would look to turn things around in favour of the Royals along with the variations of Andile Phehlukwayo.
Pretoria Capitals

In the second season of the SA20, the Capitals are sticking with Wayne Parnell as the captain, who took over the leadership role from Theunis De Bruyn. With a successful first season, Wayne Parnell will be pleased to lead the amazing set of players and will be looking to keep things simple and start with a win.
With an experienced set of batters in Paul Stirling, Colin Ingram, and Rilee Russouw, the Capitals can find their way out in any sort of condition. However, Phill Salt and Will Jacks will provide the fearlessness every team needs to win games in the shortest format.
Pretoria will undoubtedly miss the services of Anrich Nortje, but Wayne Parnell is there to lead the bowling attack with Migael Pretorius. With the likes of Hardus Viljoen, James Neesham, and Adil Rashid, the Capitals will successfully quiet the batters in the middle overs.

PR vs PRC: Pitch Report
The pitches at Boland Park are often two-paced, where the batters find it hard to score runs and have to spend some time in the middle. There's always help for the bowlers as the ball grips and turns when spinners bowl. The average total here is 135 and the chasing teams have been able to come out on top most of the time. The captain who wins the toss will look to bowl first and assess the conditions, which will eventually make things easier for them as a batting unit, knowing the target.

PR vs PRC: Winner Prediction
The Pretoria Capitals, who managed to reach the finals of the last season, lack credibility in the bowling department in the absence of Anrich Nortje, but they do have some powerful hitters to turn the game. However, the Paarl Royals look solid in both departments and with the home advantage, we predict that the Paarl Royals will come out on top in this thrilling encounter.
