PR vs SEC T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, SA20 2024
Paarl Royals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape go head to head in Match 27 of the 2024 SA20 at Boland Park on Friday evening. The Royals have 22 points with five wins from eight matches and are two points behind the Sunrisers who have the same win record but have lost one less. Read on as we preview this clash. The game gets underway at 17:30 local time in Paarl.
Paarl Royals have already qualified for the knockout stage of the tournament but their recent form, which has seen them lose to Durban’s Super Giants by large margins in back to back games, is poor. However, they do have some really strong T20 players who could well produce the goods in this match.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape are looking like one of the teams to watch with the knockout stage approaching. Although they are yet to take on Paarl Royals in this year’s tournament, they will fancy their chances due to their strong recent form.
