Joburg Super Kings vs Paarl Royals Match Analysis

Joburg Super Kings and Paarl Royals square off in Match 17 of the SA20 2024 on Wednesday night at the Wanderers Stadium. The Super Kings are playing the league-leading Royals, who they defeated in their last game to record their first victory of the season. In Johannesburg, the game starts at 17:30 local time.

The victory on Saturday came as a surprise because the Joburg Super Kings had been soundly defeated in their previous three games by MI Cape Town, Durban’s Super Giants, and Paarl Royals. But if they want to win again, they’ll have to perform at their highest level once more.

The way a team reacts to a setback always shows how strong they are, and the Paarl Royals proved that on Sunday when they defeated the same opponents by 59 runs to exact revenge for their eight-wicket loss in Match 11. They will be optimistic about their prospects at Wanderers Stadium.

Joburg Super Kings vs Paarl Royals Team Preview & Squads

Joburg Super Kings

We do not anticipate seeing any changes to the Joburg Super Kings starting lineup for this Wednesday’s matchup, as they have finally secured their first victory of the SA20 2024 season. We do not expect any of Reeza Hendricks or Faf du Plessis to fall farther down the order despite their continued struggles at the top of the order.

The third batter, Leus du Plooy, has been hitting well lately. During the victory over the Pretoria Capitals, he smashed three more sixes. With two overs remaining, Donovan Ferreira, the keeper-battler, made the difference between the Super Kings losing and winning once more. His 20 balls of 56 not out was nothing short of spectacular.

The right-arm medium-fast bowler Lizaad Williams took 3/26 in the victory in Match 13 and has a strike-rate of 9.33 in this tournament. In his first nine balls of the match, Nandre Burger, a left-arm fast bowler, removed Will Jacks and Rilee Rossouw in what was perhaps his best performance of the tournament.

Paarl Royals

After taking a blow to the foot in the previous game, captain David Miller was forced to leave the field wounded on minute 24. He did not field in the game’s second innings, but he seemed quite optimistic about his chances of being ready for this Wednesday’s contest.

Jos Buttler, with 170 runs in his previous three innings, the Englishman has become the first player this season to score more runs than the keeper-battler, Ryan Rickleton. In the previous game, Jason Roy, the top-order batsman, outscored his opening partner with 68 runs off 46 balls, including eight fours and one six.

In Match 14, Lungi Ngidi, the South African international fast bowler, was outstanding once again. He first removed Liam Livingstone from the game before taking Kagiso Rabada’s wicket to conclude it. Before scoring 3/15 on Sunday, left-arm spinner Bjorn Fortuin had only claimed one wicket in his previous four games.
