After 22 matches in the 2025 SA20, the league table is starting to take shape and stretch out a little. At the top of the tree are the all-conquering Paarl Royals who apart from a blip in their season opener have been unstoppable. Down in the dumps at the foot of the league are Durban's Super Giants who begin Monday's match seven points adrift of fourth placed Joburg Super Kings and with only two games remaining.
Although it is set to be a warm afternoon in Paarl, the temperature will drop a little to around 22 degrees during the game which should allow the players on both sides to focus and they will need to do so as there are positions in the table still to be secured.
Paarl Royals got the better of the Super Giants when chasing in Durban last week and did so with over two overs to spare at the end of the game, as a result, they will be very confident of picking up another win in this game.

The golden-boy of South African cricket and certainly of this edition of the SA20, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, may have gone off the boil a little at the top of the order but with Joe Root alongside him, there are plenty of runs to go around for the Royals in the opening spots!
The 18 year old has made two ducks from his last four innings and failed to get over 27 in the other two, but remains a very dangerous player at the top of the order. Alongside him is the former England Test skipper who has found a new gear to his attacking cricket over recent years and has hit scores of 78 not out and 92 not out across his last four innings!
With the ball, the aforementioned Root, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Bjorn Fortuin all come into this game after taking two wickets each in their win over Pretoria Capitals on Saturday. What was remarkable about that innings was that all 20 overs were sent down by spinners and it would be no surprise to see the same from Paarl in this fixture.
Root has been on an absolute rampage with the bat, where he has scored 279 runs in 7 matches. At Paarl he has scored 161 runs in 4 matches and has three scores of over 25. Considering his current form, Root is the best batter to bet on in today's match against the SuperGiants.

Another game, another heavy defeat for Durban's Super Giants on Saturday and the team must be starting to look at the fixture list and wonder when it will all end!
This season just will not turn around for the Super Giants and even a reshuffle of the batting order could not get Quinton de Kock in the runs, but the most remarkable part of their latest defeat was that it came despite Kane Williamson making an unbeaten half-century and Heinrich Klaasen plundering 66 runs from 43 balls on his way to the Player of the Match award.
The issue for the Super Giants has been their bowling and on a spin friendly surface in Paarl the skipper Keshav Maharaj will be key. He will also be looking to Noor Ahmad to back him up in this game.

It looks like being a glorious day in Paarl on Monday with the temperature approaching 30 degrees across the majority of the afternoon. It will drop a little to the low twenties before the start of this game but there is no danger of any rain across the match.
As seen with Paarl Royals electing to use purely spinners in their last game at this venue, there is no great pace for the quick bowlers to work with. Equally for the batters, they can go for their big shots but must also be patient and rotate the strike to keep the scoreboard creeping upwards. Overall, a par score will be no higher than 155.
We are backing the home team Paarl Royals to win the coin toss in today's match against the Durban SuperGiants.
The average total match score in the four matches played at Boland Park, Paarl is 308 runs. It has been a low scoring venue, where spinners have been highly effective. WIth DSG's batting lineup struggling, we predict it to be a low scoring affair and the total match score under 313 runs.
Paarl Royals came out on top after batting first in the last game at Boland Park so we fully expect both captains to go out to the middle and choose to bat first if they win the toss.
It was a remarkable sight on Saturday as Paarl Royals used only spin bowlers in their 11 run victory over Pretoria Capitals after only posting 140/4. This pitch will take some getting used to for the visitors and Durban's Super Giants are already low on confidence. It looks like being a one-sided contest and we are predicting another win for the table toppers.
