It is another big battle in the SA20 League which will see two of the wonderful sides Paarl Royals clashing off against Sunrisers Eastern Cape at Boland Park, Paarl in match number 14.

The Royals are placed second on the table with two wins from four matches, having nine points as they earned a bonus. The quality of their cricket has been brilliant so far, overcoming Durban's Super Giants in the previous match by 10 runs. Led by David Miller, the Paarl-based side would look to get on the top of the table.

Conversely, Sunrisers have won the same number of matches as played by their counterparts which makes it a tough competition. However, they are positioned fifth because of one less point and an inferior Net Run Rate. They are coming off two consecutive wins against MI Cape Town and would want to continue that momentum.
