Sunrisers Eastern Cape chose to bat first and won the last game at St George’s Park. As such, we expect both teams to want to bat first again in this match.
SEC vs PR Pitch Report
This is a good batting wicket but pace bowlers will always feel like they could dismiss a batter if they put the ball in the right area. A par score will be no higher than 180.
Gqeberha Weather Report
We are expecting some rain showers in the morning ahead of the game but it will be dry, although very humid, across the afternoon during the scheduled hours of the match.

Paarl Royals Team News & Playing 11
PR Team News
After struggling with their batting in their previous game, Paarl Royals opted to drop two all-rounders and bring in an all-rounder alongside a batter on Friday. Although they lost, it was a stronger batting performance so we expect Dane Vilas to keep his place and the team to be the same for this re-match.
PR Key Players
- Jos Buttler- the 33 year old remains one of the best white ball batters in the world and he comes into this match after hitting six fours and two sixes against the Sunrisers’ bowling attack in the last fixture.
- Jason Roy- right-hander has struggled for consistency at the top of the order in this tournament but smashed three sixes and one four in Friday’s head to head.
- Lungi Ngidi- ahead of Match 27, the South African right-arm fast medium bowler was the joint leading wicket taker in the tournament.
- Tabraiz Shamsi- the left-arm wrist spinner got the big wicket of Tom Abell at Boland Park and he has taken a two-wicket haul on three occasions in this campaign.
PR Team Form
Paarl Royals come into this game looking to avoid their fourth successive defeat in the SA20.

Who will win Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Paarl Royals T20 Match?
Player for player, there is not much to choose at all between the two teams so this game could go either way. Although Sunrisers have been in the better form, there were signs, particularly with the bat, of major improvement from Paarl Royals at Boland Park so we have them as the top team.
🏆 Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Paarl Royals Prediction
It was a convincing 44 run win for Sunrisers Eastern Cape in Friday’s game but we expect Paarl Royals to come back hard in this clash. Although they have gone on a losing run, their team balance looked better in the last game and this will be a pressure off match for them to find some form. We think that Sunrisers do not have quite as much to prove in this game so we are backing Paarl Royals to win.
