SA20 2024: Match 9, PR vs JSK Match Prediction – Who will win today’s SA20 match between PR vs JSK?

Paarl Royals (PR) and Joburg Super Kings (JSK) will cross swords in match nine of the SA20 2024 on Wednesday, January 17, at Boland Park, Paarl.

The two teams have had contrasting starts to the tournament. While Paarl have won both games they have played thus far, Joburg are searching for their first win after losing a couple of games, while one was abandoned due to rain.

The Royals won both their matches so far in the competition against Pretoria Capitals. The David Miller-led side won at home by 27 runs before eking out a 10-run win in Centurion. Meanwhile, after their first match against Sunrisers Eastern Cape was washed out, Faf du Plessis and Co. lost to MI Cape Town and Durban Super Giants by 98 and 37 runs, respectively. While Paarl will look to extend their winning streak, Joburg will hope to bag their first win of the season.

Boland Park Pitch Report and Conditions:

In the only game played so far in SA20 2024 at this venue, the pitch proved to be sluggish in nature. Paarl managed to score 160/7 in the first innings before restricting Pretoria to 133/7. Only 38 runs came in Pretoria's run-chase from overs 11 and 19. A lot of slower balls were used and it proved to be quite difficult to get them away. If the pitch remains the same for the upcoming game, run-scoring could get tougher and batters will have to dig deep to keep the scoreboard moving.
