Durban Super Giants Team News & Playing 11
DSG Team News
After returning to winning ways against MI Cape Town, there were no changes to the Durban’s Super Giants XI on Friday evening. And after such a dominant victory, it would be a huge surprise if Keshav Maharaj announced a changed team for this game.
DSG Key Players
- Quinton de Kock- the left-hander has opened the batting and gone in at number three during the tournament but batting at number four delivered 83 not out from 51 balls on Friday and he will surely be there again on Sunday.
- Heinrich Klaasen- the powerful middle order batter was only at the crease for nine balls in Paarl but he finished unbeaten with 30 runs to his name.
- Marcus Stoinis- the strong Australia all-rounder will be looking forward to bowling at the same batters in this game after he dismissed Wiaan Lubbe, Fabian Allen and Bjorn Fortuin in the last head to head.
- Reece Topley- the tall Englishman looked set to go wicketless for the second successive match before he picked up the wickets Andile Phehlukwayo and Obed McCoy with his final three balls in Match 19.
DSG Team Form
Durban's Super Giants come into this match in front of their home fans looking for their third win in a row.
Durban Super Giants Predicted Playing 11
Tony de Zorzi, Matthew Breetzke, JJ Smuts, Quinton de Kock (wk), Heinrich Klaasen, Marcus Stoinis, Wiaan Mulder, Keshav Maharaj (c), Reece Topley, Noor Ahmad, Naeen-ul-Haq
Paarl Royals Team News & Playing 11
PR Team News
The big news for Paarl Royals on Friday evening was the return of big-hitting skipper David Miller to the starting XI after missing the win over Joburg Super Kings due to injury. The experienced Dane Vilas, who had hit 42 runs from 26 balls in the previous game was left out and he could come back in on Sunday.
PR Key Players
- Jos Buttler- only one batter has scored more runs than the right-handed opener who hit another five fours and a six in his innings on Friday.
- Wihan Lubbe- the number three batter made only two runs from six balls at Boland Park but he hit a half-century only two days earlier.
- Lungi Ngidi- although the right-arm medium fast bowler has taken just one wicket in both of his last games, he has gone wicketless in only one match this season.
- Obed McCoy- the tall and graceful left-arm pace bowler will enjoy the surface in Durban and could well add to his seven wickets in SA20 2024 so far in this match.
PR Team Form
Paarl Royals had won two in a row and five of their six matches in the tournament before Friday’s defeat.
Paarl Royals Predicted Playing 11
Jason Roy, Jos Buttler (wk), Wihan Lubbe, David Miller (c), Dane Vilas, Andile Phehlukwayo, Fabian Allen, Bjorn Fortuin, Lungi Ngidi, Obed McCoy, Tabraiz Shamsi

Who will win Durban Super Giants vs Paarl Royals T20 Match?
Both teams have been the standout performers so far this season and have won courtesy of big name and lesser known players. However, after Friday, we have to go with Durban’s Super Giants as the top side once more.
🏆 Durban Super Giants vs Paarl Royals Prediction
We saw an instant rematch between Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Pretoria Capitals produce a completely different result after a one-sided first match this week and just because Durban’s Super Giants won on Friday does not mean they will definitely triumph on Sunday. However, the return to form of Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klaasen will be a worry for Paarl Royals who desperately need David Miller and Jos Buttler to deliver in this clash. Our prediction is for an exciting game with Durban’s Super Giants getting the win.
