The David Miller-led Paarl Royals are enjoying their time in the tournament as they are yet to face a defeat. This will be the second home game of the tournament for the Royals and they were quite comfortable winning the game against the Pretoria Capitals by 27 runs at the Boland Park.
With the likes of Jos Buttler and Jason Roy, the Royals don't hesitate to start aggressively. Although, both of the players have yet to play the kind of innings they are known for but it won't change the fact that they will be coming hard on the bowlers in the powerplay. David Miller and Mitchell Van Buuren have been scoring runs aggressively and managed to put the team in a good position, especially in the last game where they scored 75 and 72 respectively.
When it comes to the bowling department, the Royals have managed to scalp 14 wickets in just two games with Lungi Ngidi leading the highest wicket-taker chart, scalping five wickets. Andile Phehlukwayo and Obed McCoy have been the best allies for Ngidi and picked four wickets together in two games.

Undoubtedly, the Joburg Super Kings are not having the best time in the tournament, losing two of three games and one being washed out. Faf du Plessis, himself hasn't been playing up to his standards to carry the burden of the team's batting line-up.
For JSK to succeed in the coming games, the top-order batters must level up their game to secure their first win of the tournament. Faf du Plessis, who was impressive last season, haven't gone past the 10-run mark in either of the games. Moeen Ali's performance in the last game was a positive for the Kings and they can promote him to strengthen the middle order.
When it comes to bowling, JSK bowlers were terrible in the games against MI Cape Town and went on to concede 243 runs. Lizaad Williams is the lone wolf among bowlers, scalping five wickets in two games. We can expect a couple of changes in order to provide strength to the batting line-up.

PR vs JSK - Pitch Report
The pitches at Boland Park offer help for both batters and bowlers, but it's very rare to see a high-scoring game at this particular venue. There's always help for the bowlers as the ball grips and turns when spinners bowl. The average total here in the last 5 T20 games is 151. The captain who wins the toss will look to bat first and put up a total, considering both teams are not a fan of chasing.

Paarl Royals, having played 6 games at this particular venue, have won 4 times and they haven't lost a game this season as well. When it comes to the team, Paarl Royals have more players in form than that of the Super Kings'.
