Paarl Royals vs Joburg Super Kings prediction

With their tournament on the line, Joburg Super Kings came through when it mattered most in their final league stage game, defeating Paarl Royals by 44 runs in a commanding display, sealing their place in the top four. The result sees Paarl enter the play-offs on the back of consecutive defeats, whilst Joburg are riding the crest of a wave ahead of this rematch for a place in the second qualifier.

All the momentum is with the Super Kings and their extended winless run feels like a distant memory already when considering how well they played against Paarl last time out. Of course, the expectation is that we’ll see a much-improved Royals side on this occasion with their tournament hopes on the line at. But Joburg have already proven capable of holding their nerve once in an elimination game and backing them to do so again appears a smart move.
