PR vs MICT T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, SA20 2024
Paarl Royals and MI Cape Town go head to head in Match 14 of the 2024 SA20 on Sunday afternoon and evening at Boland Park. This is the second time the teams have met in three days after Cape Town beat the Royals by 8 wickets with 19 balls remaining at Newlands on Friday. Read on as we preview this day-night match. The game begins in Paarl at 15:30 local time.
Paarl Royals had been in excellent form before Friday’s defeat and although their openers got off to a strong start with the bat, MI Cape Town were on top for over half of the match. The Royals will need to up their game if they are to get back to winning ways.
Both of MI Cape Town’s wins in the tournament have been by significant margins and they will have no worries about arriving at Boland Park to take on the Royals again. Ryan Rickleton’s form means that the team will come into every match full of self-belief.

Paarl Royals Team News & Playing 11
PR Team News
It was no surprise to see Paarl Royals unchanged as they went looking for their fourth successive victory in the competition on Friday. Although they were well beaten, they have not become a poor side overnight and we would be surprised if there were changes to their XI in this match.
PR Key Players
- Jos Buttler- the 33 year old keeper-batter has top scored for Paarl Royals in the last two games and he is looking back to his best.
- Jason Roy- the right-handed all-format England international only lasted for 14 balls in the last head to head but he will be looking forward to taking on the same bowlers after hitting 38 runs in that innings.
- Tabraiz Shamsi- the left-arm spinner was unable to take his team to a win on Friday but he still picked up the big wickets of Rassie van der Dussen and Dewald Brevis.
- Lungi Ngidi- there was a bit of a reality check for the 27 year old right-arm fast medium bowler in the last game who had taken seven wickets from his previous two matches before going wicketless.
PR Team Form
Paarl Royals came into their last match with MI Cape Town looking to maintain their 100% record in the tournament but must now start another winning run.
Paarl Royals Predicted Playing 11
Jason Roy, Jos Buttler (wk), Wihan Lubbe, David Miller (c), Mitchell Van Buuren, Andile Phehlukwayo, Fabian Allen, Bjorn Fortuin, Lungi Ngidi, Obed McCoy, Tabraiz Shamsi
MI Cape Town Team News & Playing 11
MICT Team News
After losing to Sunrisers Eastern Cape by only four runs in Match 8, MI Cape Town made one change ahead of Match 11 with Thomas Kaber coming into the team with Beuran Hendricks making way. It would be a big surprise if any changes were made for this game.
MICT Key Players
- Ryan Rickleton- it was no surprise to see the opener take the Player of the Match Award in Cape Town in Match 11 of SA20 2024 after he hit seven fours and six sixes in the head to head.
- Rassie van der Dussen- the right-hander is another batter in fantastic form at the top of the order for MI Cape Town. He has hit 41 runs in both of his last two innings.
- Thomas Kaber- the wrist spinner showed off his variation to get the key-wicket of David Miller with the wrong’un on Friday. It will be very interesting to see how Paarl approach his bowling in his game.
- Kagiso Rabada- the right arm fast bowler is consistent, fast and always has the ability to dismiss any top batter. He dismissed the free hitting Jason Roy in the last game.
MICT Team Form
MI Cape Town are yet to record back to back wins in the tournament but were very dominant in Friday’s victory.
MI Cape Town Predicted Playing 11
Rassie van der Dussen, Ryan Rickleton (wk), Dewald Brevis, Connor Esterhuizen, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Kieron Pollard (c), George Linde, Kagiso Rabada, Thomas Kaber, Olly Stone
