Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Paarl Royals Expert Prediction

On the back of having seen their six-match winning run come to an end at the hands of Joburg Super Kings, Paarl Royals are no doubt desperate to return back to the win column immediately, knowing the potentially negative psychological effect of entering the play-offs following consecutive defeats. A big enough win also gives them a shot of overtaking MI Cape Town.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape have seemingly reverted back to the side who couldn’t buy a win back at the start of this campaign, losing their last two games. Their batting has fallen off a cliff in recent games and it’s difficult to see them being able to match Paarl Royals currently. With that in mind, back the latter to overcome the reigning champions in this one.
