SA20 2025: Predicting Paarl Royals’ playing XI for their clash against Durban Super Giants 

Check out our predicted Paarl Royals’ playing XI as they take on Durban Super Giants. Paarl Royals have been displaying some consistent cricket in the past few weeks during the SA20 2025 season. David Miller and his side are currently second in the table on points with MI Cape Town. If Paarl wins their next game, they can go top of the table at the halfway point in the season. 

In their last match, Paarl Royals defeated Joburg Super Kings by six wickets with five balls to spare. The Royals have won their last three matches after suffering the 33-run loss to MI Cape Town in the second game of their campaign. David Miller knows that Durban cannot be taken lightly despite sitting bottom of the table so far this season. 

Here is the likely Paarl Royals’ playing XI vs Durban Super Giants:

Top order:

Young batter Pretorius has been in amazing form so far this campaign and has already played a match-winning knock. The young batter has displayed attacking batting and has been a constant thorn in the opposition’s flesh. Joe Root on the other hand has shown why he is considered as one of the best batters in the world right now. The 34-year-old has played well ever since he made his debut in the league. 

Middle Order:

One of the biggest strong points for Paarl this season has been their middle order. Rubin Hermann scored 19 runs in his first appearance for the team against Durban. Mitchell Van Buuren has been consistent self-scoring 44 runs in the last match while David Miller has been providing the muscle with his blazing blade. 

Lower-order:

Former India star Dinesh Karthik hasn’t had many chances to bat, his wicketkeeping though hasn’t skipped a beat. Dayyan Galiem and Mujeeb bowled well during the SA20 2025 season and picked wickets when needed. Mujeeb in particular has been given the new ball on many occasions and he has risen to the fore and done wonders. 

Tail enders:

Paarl has a long batting unit with Bjorn Fortuin and Wellage in the team. Both players aren’t just good spin bowlers but can also score crucial runs with the bat. The pace bowling unit has fallen on the shoulders of young Kwena Maphaka who has to lead the side after the injury suffered by Lungi Ngidi.
