Paarl Royals host Durban Super Giants in a top-of-the-table SA20 clash at Boland Park in Paarl at 5.30pm today.
The hosts, who have only lost one of their six matches this season so far, enter the match on the back of a five-wicket win over Joburg Super Kings on Wednesday to strengthen their spot at the top of the standings.
With Wihan Lubbe quickly scoring 57 and Dane Vilas 42, they chased down the Kings’ 168/3 with an over to spare at the Wanderers.
Matthew Breetzke, who’s scored 211 runs at an average of 35.16, and his Giants teammates, meanwhile, will be out to make it back-to-back wins innie Kaap, after beating MI Cape Town at Newlands earlier this week.
Victory at Boland Park will be crucial for top spot, but there will be another chance for the loser to pull it back, with the teams again going at each other on Sunday at Kingsmead (3.30pm).
In other SA20 action this weekend, MI Cape Town would want Ryan Rickelton and their batsmen to do the talking again when they travel to Aiden Markram and his defending champions Eastern Cape Sunrisers tomorrow at 1.30pm, with Pretoria Capitals and Joburg Super Kings squaring off at 5.30pm.
