Pretoria Capitals vs Paarl Royals Chance of Winning
A strong batting order from top to bottom coupled with a bowling attack that take pride in bowling parsimonious overs, Paarl Royals can stake claim as the better side in the forthcoming contest. With Jos Buttler and Jason Roy manning the top and David Miller providing a finishing touch, there is no doubt about Paarl’s ability to win the encounter.
That, however, doesn’t mean Pretoria Capitals can’t challenge them on their day. They have Philip Salt, one of the most destructive batters in the world at the moment, followed by Rilee Rossouw in the middle order. Daryn Dupavillon has been adding a sense of urgency to the bowling attack - hence we can expect a game with solid performance.

Pretoria Capitals vs Paarl Royals Betting Tips
I am banking on Jason Roy to provide another good start to Paarl Royals. He is due a big one after getting many confident starts in the last few months. I will really be surprised if Phil Salt doesn’t go on to score a fifty in the upcoming match - he is too good to miss out on one. James Neesham has been entrusted with the leadership responsibility of Pretoria Capitals and he is expected to lead from the front.

Pretoria Capitals vs Paarl Royals Betting Odds
PR to score above 49.5 runs in the powerplay @ 1.87 (Parimatch)
When your openers are Jos Buttler and Jason Roy, you don’t need to think much. Just act. For the simple fact that the duo, when batted together, have an average of 45 runs in the powerplay per dismissal, with the team score reaching 54. That is an insane record to boast. On a ground like Centurion, where batters dominate with an iron fist, it is difficult not to bet on this.

Pretoria Capitals vs Paarl Royals Best Batters
Philip Salt to be Pretoria Capitals’ best batter (Parimatch)
Salt has 5175 T20 runs and is considered one of the most promising batters of the modern era. An average of 26.53 may be deceiving but he has a strike rate of 152.79 - which justifies the kind of batter he has become. With two centuries and 32 half-centuries, Salt has ensured that things are smooth for him overall. In his last four T20 innings, he has two centuries and another two 30-plus scores.
Jos Buttler to be Paarl Royals’ best batter (Parimatch)
What Jos Buttler can do in T20 cricket is not news to anyone. He is destructive and has an immense ability that can translate to destruction on any given day. It is understandable from the fact that Buttler has 10752 runs at an average of 34.35 and a strike rate of 144.61. He has six centuries and 77 fifties in the format - so, ensure that we put in good money on him.
Pretoria Capitals vs Paarl Royals Best Bowlers
Daryn Dupavillon to be Pretoria Capitals’ best bowler (Parimatch)
Daryn Dupavillon has a T20 bowling average of 20.16 at an economy rate of 7.28. Over the years, he has turned out to be a potent bowler in the shortest format of the game and it was on show in the first game when Dupavillon turned out to be the pick of the bowlers for Pretoria Capitals.
Tabraiz Shamsi to be Paarl Royals’ best bowler (Parimatch)
Tabraiz Shamsi is one of the best spin bowlers around in the shortest format of the game - understandable from the fact that he has 270 wickets at an average of 22.02 and an economy rate of 7.29. Very rarely does it happen that the opposition batters decide to take him on - which allows him an opportunity to go ballistic in the middle overs.
