PR vs JSK T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Eliminator SA20 2024
Wednesday evening’s play-off match in the 2024 SA20 competition sees Paarl Royals take on Joburg Super Kings in the Eliminator. The Royals finished in third place in the group stage, five points above the Super Kings in fourth. Read on as we preview this match. The game begins at 17:30 local time at The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg on February 7th.
Paarl Royals were leading the group stage until a very poor run of results. However, they still finished in third place but now must find a way to win again or else they will be eliminated. They have a very strong record against the Super Kings and will be confident of progressing.
Joburg Super Kings lost only one of their final four group stage games which allowed them to sneak into the top four and into the play-off stage. They beat Durban’s Super Giants with 1 ball remaining in their last game which will give them confidence ahead of this clash.

PR Team News
Ahead of their final group stage game, Codi Yusuf, Peter Nqabayomzi and John Turner all came into the side although there was nothing left to play for. Ahead of this knockout game, we expect to see Obed McCoy, Lungi Ngidi and Tabraiz Shamsi back in the team.
PR Key Players
- Jos Buttler - The right-handed opener is hitting his runs at a strike-rate of 144.20 in this competition. He hit four fours and two sixes in the last match.
- Dane Vilas - The experienced middle order batter has only played three times in the tournament but those games have all been recent and he has hit two scores of 34+.
- Lungi Ngidi - the right-arm quick was rested from the last game but has been in great wicket taking form and has already taken four wickets against the Super Kings this season.
- Andile Phehlukwayo - The South African bowling all-rounder is in excellent form and comes into this game after dismissing Dawid Malan, Aiden Markram and Tristan Stubbs.

Joburg Super Kings Team News & Playing 11
JSK Team News
The Super Kings used their final group stage game to give some much needed batting time in the middle for some of their line-up. We expect Reeza Hendricks to move back up the order to number three in this game although we are expecting an unchanged XI.
JSK Key Players
- Leus du Plooy - The 29 year old hit his second half-century of the tournament in the last game with an innings that included five fours and two sixes.
- Faf du Plessis - The skipper has struggled through lots of this campaign but comes into this match after making a half-century in two of the last three games.
- Lizaad Williams - The pace bowler got into his stride early in the last fixture when he dismissed both of Durban’s Super Giants’ openers inside five overs.
- Doug Bracewell - The 33 year old New Zealander arrived late to the tournament but impressed with figures of 2/40 in the win over the Super Giants on Saturday.
JSK Team Form
Joburg Super Kings come into this Eliminator looking for their third win out of four in the SA20 2024.

🏆 Paarl Royals vs Joburg Super Kings Prediction
Knockout cricket is always exciting and none more so than in the Eliminator of the SA20. The huge improvement in form from Joburg Super Kings means this game is not already decided before the teams take to the field and with Faf du Plessis making runs, anything is possible. However, we think Jos Buttler’s batting throughout the tournament has been on a different level to many and we are backing him to perform again with Paarl Royals winning the game.
