Paarl Royals vs MI Cape Town prediction

David Miller was the hero for Paarl Royals, who pulled off a big upset victory away at Sunrisers Eastern Cape last time out. It looked like they were going to fall short until Miller came to the crease and orchestrated a successful run chase with a rapid 71 not out. But Paarl need to back that up here at home, especially when considering their opposition.

MI Cape Town are enduring a difficult start to their title defence, losing twice with one washout. The bowling in particular is getting destroyed, giving up consecutive scores of 220 or more and that bodes well for a Paarl top order who have been struggling themselves. It would be no surprise if this was the game where those Royals bats clicked into gear and helped lead the hosts to victory.
