Paarl Royals

After losing three straight games, Paarl Royals will need to start over from scratch. They need to regain momentum after losing to the Sunrisers in their previous match, as was previously indicated.

In the previous match, the Sunrisers were in the lead in the powerplay thanks to strikes from Jos Buttler (64 off 45 balls) and Jason Roy (32 off 23 balls), but once Roy was out, no other batter was able to take advantage of the situation.

Additionally, we anticipate a significant strike from skipper David Miller (182 runs at 120 in 8 innings).

Lungi Ngidi has been a standout bowler, taking 13 wickets in 9 games. That being said, it is alarming that he has also been leaking runs. The success of leg-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi, who has taken nine wickets at 7.33% in as many games, will also be crucial for the Royals.
