SA20 2025: Match 26, JSK vs PR Match Prediction – Who will win today’s SA20 match between JSK vs PR?

The SA20 2025 is at the business end of the league stage. In Match 26, the Joburg Super Kings (JSK) and Paarl Royals (PR) will clash with each other on the 30th of January at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. 

This will be an interesting matchup between the two teams where the Paarl Royals have already qualified for the playoffs with seven wins and only one loss from the eight games they have played so far and are on top of the points table. They are the best team in the tournament so far and will be looking to keep their dominance going on having already won six games in a row. 

On the other hand, it has been a roller coaster of a season for the Joburg Super Kings who might have started the season with two wins in a row but have not had a great outing in the last few games. In the last five matches, the Faf Du Plessis-led side has only managed to win one game. Though they are currently in fourth place on the points table they will hope to win these last two games to secure a knockout place and spoil the party for the Pretoria Capitals who have kept their chances alive after a win in the last game against the Super Kings. 

Match Details

Pitch Report 

The Wanderers is mostly known to be a batting-friendly pitch where some big scores have been made but in the last few games, there have not been a lot of big scores by the teams. However, most of the matches played on this surface have been won by the team batting second in the tournament which could mean that the conditions get better to bat.
