Paarl Royals Team News & Playing 11
PRL Team News
Tabraiz Shamsi returned to the team in place of Imran Manack in the only change to the Paarl Royals XI ahead of the win over Durban’s Super Giants. Shamsi was expensive but got a crucial wicket and we expect to see him keep his place for this match.
PRL Key Players
- Jos Buttler - England’s IT20 skipper has played well in the SA20 but has not hit the same heights as we saw in the T20 World Cup or the 2022 IPL. He is one of the most talented openers in short format cricket.
- Evan Jones - The batting all-rounder has made a name for himself with the ball in hand and has an incredible strike-rate of 6.8 from 10.2 overs in the tournament.
- Bjorn Fortuin - The 28 year old slow left-arm orthodox bowler took the Player of The Match Award at Boland Park on Tuesday. He dismissed Kyle Mayers, Quinton de Kock and Dwaine Pretorius across five deliveries.
PRL Team Form
Paarl Royals have won two of their last three matches in the tournament and have a 100% record at Boland Park.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape Team News & Playing 11
EAC Team News
Brydon Carse came back into the team for the second win over MI Cape Town with James Fuller dropping out of the side. Although neither player has set the tournament alight, Carse has the greater ability with bat and ball and we would expect Sunrisers to be unchanged for this game.
EAC Key Players
- Aidem Markram - the skipper’s primary role in the side is to score big runs but he has also chipped in with five wickets. He has hit 108 runs across his last three matches.
- Marco Jansen - The all-rounder has shown his talent across the four games and looks likely to be a star in SA20 cricket for the next decade. He has scored over 100 runs and taken three wickets in this campaign so far.
- Ottniel Baartman - The 29 year old right arm fast medium bowler continued his impressive start to the SA20 with the wickets of Ryan Rickleton and Grant Roelofsen in Match 12.

Who will win Paarl Royals vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape T20 Match?
Sunrisers Eastern Cape certainly have the bowling attack and a long batting line-up to cause problems to the hosts in this match. However, Paarl Royals have been unstoppable in front of their home fans so far in the tournament.
🏆 Paarl Royals vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape Prediction
With every team winning at least two matches, the SA20 table is extremely tight at this point. That means that a win for either team could see them topping the standings at the close of this match. We are predicting a very entertaining match with the spinners on both teams having major roles to play. Ultimately, we expect Bjorn Fortuin’s bowling to be key and are backing Paarl Royals to win this game.
