SA20 2024: Match 27, PR vs SUNE Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between Paarl Royals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape?

Paarl Royals (PR) and Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SUNE) have already booked their places in the playoffs in SA20 2024. However, they would want to ensure a top-two finish on the points table to get two bites at the cherry to reach the final. They cross swords on Friday, February 2, at Boland Park, Paarl, in what promises to be an exciting clash.

Sunrisers have won five out of the eight games they have played so far in the competition and have 24 points on the board. Meanwhile, Paarl have picked up 22 points from eight games after winning five and losing three. They will play each other twice to wrap up their respective campaigns in the round-robin phase of the competition.

Just a win will be enough for Aiden Markram-led Sunrisers to ensure a top-two finish. However, Paarl will have to beat the defending champions twice to get to Qualifier 1.

The explosive batter has had a fine campaign thus far. He has scored 296 runs at an average of 42.29 and a strike rate of 141.63. The Royals would hope that the experienced campaigner gets the team off to a flying start and sets the ideal launchpad for skipper David Miller and the other hard-hitters in the lower-order.

The right-arm pacer is the joint-highest wicket-taker in the tournament thus far. He has bagged 13 wickets in seven games at a remarkable average of 16.15 and a strike rate of 12. His economy rate of 8.08 is quite decent for someone who bowls in the PowerPlay and also at the death.
