SA20 2025: Predicting Paarl Royals’ playing XI for their clash against Joburg Super Kings 

Get a glimpse of Predicted Paarl Royals playing XI for their upcoming clash against Joburg Super Kings. Paarl Royals have become the first side to make it to the playoff stages of the SA20 tournament. The six-wicket win against Durban Super Giants ensured their sixth win in a row to make it into the final four stages of the tournament. One major issue is the niggle suffered by David Miller in the game against Durban. 

The tournament for Paarl began with a nine-wicket win against Sunrisers Eastern Cape. This was followed by the loss to MI Cape Town before going on an unbeaten run. Despite Lungi Ngidi not playing the majority of the tournament, the Royals have seen their bowlers put their hands up at regular intervals. 

Here is Paarl Royals’ playing XI vs Joburg Super Kings:

Joe Root

In what could be his final game of the season before flying to India to link up for national duties, Joe Root will want to bow out on a high. Root has scored 279 runs from eight matches with three half-centuries. Pretorius on the other hand began the tournament by scoring 206 runs in the first three games before managing to score 95 runs from the next five games. 

Middle Order:

David Miller

With David Miller likely to miss the next match, the onus of scoring runs in the middle order falls on Rubin Hermann. The likes of Mitchell Van Buuren and Dinesh Karthik also have to pick up the mantle. Karthik has played eight matches so far and scored just 44 runs with his 21 in the last game being his best score. 

Lower-order:

Andile Phehlukwayo

Veteran star Andile Phehlukwayo could finally get a look in a bid to rest David Miller. Phelukwayo is more than capable with the bat and also a very good bowler with the smart change of pace. Dunith Wellage has been a steady player ever since his inclusion in the side. Dayyaan Galiem has picked wickets at regular intervals and also scored crucial runs with the bat.

Bjorn Fortuin

Paarl’s biggest strength this season has been their spin bowling. Bjorn Fortuin and Mujeeb have put the breaks on the opposition batters with their smart bowling. Kwena Maphaka has shown maturity beyond his years to bowl well with the new ball and also at the death.
