The 18th match of the SA20 League 2025 will feature Durban Super Giants (DSG) taking on Paarl Royals (PR) at Kingsmead, Durban, on Thursday, January 23.
Paarl Royals come into this game with excellent form, winning four of their last five matches, including a six-wicket victory against Joburg Super Kings. Durban Super Giants, however, have struggled, winning just one of their last six games. Their previous match against MI Cape Town was abandoned due to rain.
How the Pitch Plays
The Kingsmead pitch has not been more friendly to batters this season. However, spinners have been the standout performers here, taking over half the wickets at this venue. Bowlers like Noor Ahmad, Keshav Maharaj, and Mujeeb Ur Rahman could play crucial roles.
Pace bowlers need to adjust by varying their pace. Chasing has been tough this season at Kingsmead, with three out of four games won by teams batting first. Captains winning the toss may prefer to bat and set a competitive target.
