Boland Park Pitch Report
Boland Park, Paarl
At Boland Park Early wickets are possible, but the pitch tends to slow down as the game progresses, making strokeplay trickier in the second innings. Batsmen need to rotate strike efficiently, while spinners like Sikandar Raza and Sunil Narine can exploit the slower middle overs. Scores above 160 are competitive under lights.
Weather Report
Expect hot, clear conditions at Boland Park with temperatures hovering around 21–22°C. The absence of cloud cover suggests minimal swing for seamers, but dew in the late evening may favor the chasing team. Teams will need to factor in slower outfield conditions, especially during death overs, which can influence the batting strategy.

Paarl Royals vs Durban’s Super Giants Team Preview & Squads
Paarl Royals
Captain David Miller is the linchpin for Paarl Royals, blending aggressive strokeplay with tactical acumen. His ability to anchor innings or accelerate in the final overs will be key against a balanced DSG bowling attack. Miller’s form could determine whether PR posts a defendable total or manages a chase under pressure.
PR’s batting depth beyond Miller is a mixed bag. While players like Bjorn Fortuin and Keagan Lion-Cachet can provide momentum in the middle overs, the Royals need consistent contributions to avoid collapses, as seen in their last match against Capitals. Rotating strike and capitalizing on fielding gaps will be critical on this tricky pitch.
Bowling and all-round options add versatility. Dan Lawrence leads the seam attack with wicket-taking potential, while Sikandar Raza can change the game with crucial breakthroughs. Spinners and pacers will need to read the conditions well, especially if they are defending sub-170 totals under lights.
