PR vs MICT Match Prediction & Analysis
We are one game shy of the half-way stage of the group stage of this year's SA20 and although Paarl Royals were beaten by MI Cape Town in the last game, it is Paarl Royals who are still top of the table! However, if MI Cape Town can make it two wins in three days against Paarl Royals, then they could replace them at the summit.
Joburg Super Kings and Pretoria Capitals are the bottom two sides with the Capitals two points adrift at the foot of the league. Will the table be turned upside down in the second half of the SA20? Will the run-fest continue?
There are plenty of questions to be answered as we go into Match 14 on Sunday.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Paarl Royals Preview
At 62/0, before the halfway stage of the fifth over, Paarl Royals looked on track for their fourth win of the tournament. However, once the openers had gone, only three more players made double-figure scores as they stuttered to 172/8 from their 20 overs.
With a powerful bowling attack, many pundits still thought that Paarl Royals could defend the 173 target in Newlands but it was a poor evening for the bowling unit.
Tabraiz Shamsi comes into this game after taking 2/35 in the last head to head whilst Jos Buttler will be looking to add to his 147 runs from his last three innings.
Paarl Royals Predicted Playing XI:
Jason Roy, Jos Buttler (wk), Wihan Lubbe, David Miller (c), Mitchell Van Buuren, Andile Phehlukwayo, Fabian Allen, Bjorn Fortuin, Lungi Ngidi, Obed McCoy, Tabraiz Shamsi

MI Cape Town Preview
Rassie van der Dussen has been putting in a very strong audition for selection for South Africa's 2024 T20 World Cup squad and he has shed his usual image of being a slow starter by racking up big and quick runs in the tournament. He hit four fours and two sixes on Friday but was put in the shade by his opening partner, Ryan Rickleton. Maybe the 27 year old, who has already played Tests and ODIs for South Africa, is the batter who should be on the plane to the USA and the Caribbean and he is the leading run-scorer in the competition.
Thomas Kaber was the man with the golden arm on Friday and the left-arm wrist spinner will be bowling at the same batting line-up who he took 3/20 against! Kagiso Rabada and Sam Curran will both be looking to build on their single wicket taken in the last clash with Paarl Royals.
MI Cape Town Predicted Playing XI:
Rassie van der Dussen, Ryan Rickleton (wk), Dewald Brevis, Connor Esterhuizen, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Kieron Pollard (c), George Linde, Kagiso Rabada, Thomas Kaber, Olly Stone

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Dry weather is forecast for the entirety of this game and it will be very warm with the temperature above 27 degrees throughout. Humidity levels will be high throughout this game at Boland Park.
PR vs MICT Pitch Report
We expect a surface which offers something for the quick and spin bowlers but also with enough pace and true bounce to allow the batters to play their shots. Any total approaching 195-200 should be sufficient to win the match.
Toss: To Bat
The last five games in the tournament have seen the toss winning captain choose to bat first and our prediction is that both skippers will want to do the same again in this fixture.
PR vs MICT
Winning Prediction
Jos Buttler is a man in form and he bears no resemblance to the man who struggled for form in the 2023 Cricket World Cup in India. It could well be Buttler versus Rickleton in this match and we are backing the Englishman's side to come out on top. Our winning prediction is Paarl Royals.
