SA20: Paarl Royals v Sunrisers Eastern Cape Prediction & Best Bets

The action continues in the SA20 on Thursday with Paarl Royals hosting Sunrisers Eastern Cape at Boland Park in Paarl. The visitors come into this match brimming with confidence after back-to-back wins over MI Cape Town and will be looking to make it three consecutive wins in the competition. We have a prediction and the best bets for Match 14.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape

After two consecutive wins over MI Cape Town, there is a lot of value in backing SEC at 2.25 to win this game. Aiden Markram’s side has found ways to win despite being underdogs and will be full of confidence heading into this one. In their previous game, they beat MICT by 2 wickets, thanks to a 27-ball 66 from Marco Jansen.

Their top order will need to start scoring runs if they are to be consistent but I’m backing them to get over the line in Paarl.

Bjorn Fortuin

Bjorn Fortuin is in fantastic form and will enjoy bowling to a RHB-heavy SRH batting lineup. He picked 3 for 16 against JSK and 3 for 14 versus DSG. Fortuin will be dangerous at home on a pitch that usually favours the spinners.

Most Sixes

I backed Paarl Royals to hit the most sixes in their previous game against DSG and they delivered. They have an able batting unit of Jos Buttler, Jason Roy, David Miller, Wihan Lubbe and Eoin Morgan, who can all strike the ball long. SEC have to rely on Aiden Markram, Tristan Stubbs and Marco Jansen for the power-hitting.
