In Wednesday night’s 2024 SA20 Match 9, Paarl Royals and Johannesburg Super Kings square off at Boland Park. The Super Kings are still seeking their first victory in the tournament after losing to Durban’s Super Giants on Monday. In contrast, the Royals have played two games and won two of them thus far. Paarl kicks off the match at 17:30 local time.
The Paarl Royals have opened the season by defeating the Pretoria Capitals twice, first by 10 runs at Centurion and then by 27 runs here at Boland Park. The Royals have a quality team and players who are playing well, so another victory would not be shocking.
The Johannesburg Super Kings fell short of their opponents by the end of both their games—on Saturday against MI Cape Town and on Monday against Durban’s Super Giants. This appears to be going to be another difficult match on Wednesday.
We expect to see the same starting lineup for this game on Wednesday evening, barring any injuries that are revealed before the play. David Miller has released the same teamsheet ahead of both of his SA20 matches against the Paarl Royals thus far.
In the most recent game, David Miller, a 34-year-old left-hander who finished undefeated after hitting eight fours and three sixes, once again took advantage of the Pretoria Capitals bowlers. Jos Buttler, the top run scorer in the SA20 last season and a keeper-battler, appeared to be on track to score a significant amount on Sunday until he was removed for 39 runs off of 23 balls.
The 27-year-old Lungi Ngidi, who removed Phil Salt and Theunis de Bruyn in the first over of the game before returning to remove Corbin Bosch and Rilee Rossouw in the sixth, will be buoyant going into this encounter. Obed McCoy, the tall left-arm pace bowler, has dismissed the Capitals in both of his games this season, capping a solid start to the season. In Twenty20 cricket, he has a striker rate of 15.3.

Captain Faf du Plessis has only scored two single-digit goals in the competition thus far due to his terrible lack of form. Before this game at Boland Park, we do not anticipate him being cut from the squad or moved down the lineup.
Reeza Hendricks led the Super Kings in scoring on Monday with 38 runs from 32 balls, while his opening partner was having trouble scoring runs. Against Durban’s Super Giants, England’s all-rounder Moeen Ali scored 36 runs off of 26 balls and claimed a wicket with the ball.
In addition to taking out Nicholas Pooran on Monday, Lizard Williams, a 30-year-old right-arm fast-medium bowler, also dismissed Heinrich Klaasen and Dwaine Pretorius twice in the penultimate over. With three wickets from two matches, left-arm pace bowler Nandre Burger has made a great start to the tournament. In his most recent game, he struck out an opener.

Boland Park
In their two previous games, Paarl Royals have prevailed when asked to bat first, so they won’t have any issues if asked to do so again. But in this match, we anticipate that both captains will want to field first.
On Wednesday evening, bright skies are predicted for Paarl from late afternoon into the evening. The contest won’t be interrupted by rain, and the temperature will drop from 31 to 24 degrees.
This year’s SA20 pitch at Boland Park is not the fastest, which will help the bowlers. Probably enough to win the game is any score of more than 185 in the first innings.
In their last two matches, Paarl Royals won one match and the other one ended in no result.
