Paarl Royals

The team led by David Miller needs to bounce back from consecutive defeats. They lost badly, falling short of the Durban Super Giants by a score of 125 runs. After dominating the table, they have fallen to the second spot. Warner anticipates a solid performance from the side and would like to see them get their campaign back on track. 

Given their recent struggles, the team will be looking to Jason Roy and Jos Buttler to put on a solid display at the top. With Mitchell Van Buuren and Wihan Lubbe batting in the middle order, David Miller needs to lead the inning and score additional runs. Bjorn Fortuin, Fabian Allen, and Andile Phehluwayo are all strong hitters who provide firepower to the batting order.

Along with Bjorn Fortuin, Lungi Ngidi needs to put his expertise to the fore and take early wickets. In the middle overs, Obed McCoy and Tarbaiz Shamsi are vital players who must collect wickets. Phehlukwayo, Wihan Lubbe, and Fabian Allen give this bowling assault more depth.
