Preview

The thrilling SA20 2025 edition is reaching the business end of the season, and there is a mad rush to qualify for the playoffs. The game scheduled for (Thursday) January 30, will witness the Faf du Plessis-led Joburg Super Kings (JSK), take on the Paarl Royals (PR) in Match 26 of the showpiece event. Notably, the game will be played at the renowned Wanderers Stadium.

It is a key match for Joburg in particular, who are currently fourth in the table with two matches left to play. Joburg has just won three out of the eight matches they have played so far in the current season. In the last match, they were soundly thrashed by Pretoria Capitals, in what was a one-sided affair. The only saving grace for JSK was the fact that its last two matches in the campaign were home matches. If they beat Paarl, their chances of qualifying start to get brighter.

On the flip side, the Paarl Royals have been the best team so far during the ongoing SA20 season. David Miller and his men have played eight matches and won seven games to accumulate 28 points. These results not only made Paarl the table-topping side but also the first team to make it to the playoffs.
