PC vs PR Match Prediction & Analysis
Of the first ten games in the 2025 SA20, two have ended as no results with Pretoria Capitals unfortunate enough to have both of those matches involving themselves!
This will be match 12 of the tournament and with the exception of Sunrisers Eastern Cape, the 2024 SA20 champions, all of the other teams have won at least one game.
With their glut of no results, Pretoria Capitals have actually won only one match themselves and began Friday only one point from the top of the table. They are also one point ahead of Paarl Royals, who have picked up two victories so far, and according to the league this will be a particularly tight affair at SuperSport Park, Centurion.
The Royals won by ten runs the last time the teams met, could we be in for another close contest on Saturday?

TEAMS PREVIEW
Pretoria Capitals Preview
Although their last game ended as a no-result, Pretoria Capitals completed their 20 overs with the bat and put in an under-par performance against the Joburg Super Kings at the Wanderers Stadium. So there is plenty of improvement needed from their batters ahead of this match but their bowlers should all be well rested for this clash against Paarl Royals.
After hitting 89 against Durban's Super Giants in his opening game of this season, Afghan opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz has failed to make it to double figures but fortunately his opening partner Will Jacks has made 42 runs from his last two innings. As a pair, they only know one way, which is to bat aggressively, and they will always get the innings off to a fast start.
With the ball, the Capitals are now without Daryn Dupavillon for the rest of the tournament after he suffered a hamstring injury. That will put more pressure on opening bowler Eathan Bosch but he was in excellent form in the last match when he took 2/18.
PC Over/Under Betting Tips
Jacks has been in top form this season, where he has scored 106 runs (15, 27 & 64) in three matches. At Centurion he has scored 338 runs 7 matches, averaging 48. Considering his current form and record at the venue, we back Jacks to continue his dominance with the bat and score over 21 runs in today's match.
Pretoria Capitals Predicted Playing XI:
Will Jacks, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Kyle Verreynne (wk), Rilee Rossouw (c), Liam Livingstone, Marques Ackerman, James Neesham, Senuran Muthusamy, Migael Pretorius, Eathan Bosch, Tiaan van Vuuren

Paarl Royals Preview
Paarl Royals picked up their second win of the campaign in match nine against table-toppers MI Cape Town and it was the second time this season that 18 year old left-handed opener Lhuan-dre Pretorius delivered on the big stage!
Batting alongside England Test superstar Joe Root, the South African looks like he could dominate world cricket for the next decade and a half but for now he is leading the way in the 2025 SA20. In this game he will be targeting his third Player of the Match award from four matches!
With his explosive talent at the top of the order, there is a little less pressure on the bowling attack and in Bjorn Fortuin with Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Dunith Wellalage and Joe Root, the Royals have spin bowling depth. The pace in this game will come from Kwena Maphaka.
PR Over/Under Betting Tips
Root has scored 103 runs (15, 26 & 62*) in three matches in the SA20 2025. He has gotten off to flying starts in all the three games and failed to convert it into big scores in the last two matches. Well today might be the day, where he converts it into a big knock on a good batting track at Centurion.
Paarl Royals Predicted Playing XI:
Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Joe Root, Mitchell Van Buuren, David Miller (c), Dinesh Karthik (wk), Andile Phehlukwayo, Dunith Wellalage, Dayyaan Galiem, Bjorn Fortuin, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Kwena Maphaka

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It's going to be a great day for watching cricket at Centurion with the temperature forecast to be in the mid-high twenties from start to finish of this game. There may be some cloud cover from time to time but overall it will be a warm afternoon.
PC vs PR Pitch Report
It was the pace bowlers who led the way with the ball in the last game at SuperSport Park but we expect the spinners to play a role this time. Whoever bats first in this fixture will need to post a score of 150+ to be competitive.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
Supersport Park in Centurion boasts the highest number of centuries among all venues in the SA20, with four hundreds and three scores exceeding 90 runs recorded in just 10 matches played there. Given the current form of the top-order batters from both teams, particularly Joe Root, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Luhan-dre Pretorius, the possibility of another century being scored today is quite high.
In 10 matches at Centurion, batters have crossed an individual score of 71 eleven times. In seven out of these ten matches, at least one batter has scored over 71.5 runs. Based on this data, we predict that at least one batter will score over 71 runs in today's match.
We back the home team Pretoria Capitals to win the coin toss in today's match against the Paarl Royals.
The pitch at SuperSport Park in Centurion favours the batters and 7 of the 11 SA20 matches played at this have seen high scores in excess of 355 runs. The last time Pretoria and Paarl played at this venue the total match score was a whopping 410 runs. With both batting units in rich vain of form, we predict it to be a high scoring game.
Toss: To Bowl
The only completed game at SuperSport Park, Centurion so far this season was won by the team chasing so we predict that both captains will go out for the toss on Saturday hoping to bowl first.
PC vs PR
Winning Prediction
Paarl Royals have an excellent recent record against Pretoria Capitals and we expect that to continue in this match. Although the Capitals' bowlers will be well rested, the Royals have excellent batting depth as well as one of the most talented 18 year old openers in world cricket. We are predicting an exciting contest but with Pretoria Capitals falling to their second defeat of the campaign.
We are backing Paarl Royals to win!
