Match 24 of the SA20 2023 will take place on Friday at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg between the Paarl Royals (PRL) and Joburg Super Kings (JOH). Although both teams have the same number of victories, the Royals have a higher net run-rate. In order for either team to improve their chances of reaching the semifinals, it will undoubtedly be a difficult battle.
The Kings were average with the ball in their most recent league match, giving up 178 runs, but they made up for it with the bat to chase it down with five balls left. They rely heavily on players like Gerald Coetzee and Faf du Plessis. In contrast, Royals secured a decisive victory in their most recent match by securing the chase of 131. Jos Buttler and Bjorn Fortuin’s contributions will be crucial for them.
The Paarl Royals, who have played eight games in the series and are currently ranked third, and the Johannesburg Super Kings, who have played seven games in the series, are currently ranked fourth on the points table.
