Durban Super Giants (DSG) face Paarl Royals (PR) in match No. 27 of the ongoing SA20 2025-26 at Kingsmead, Durban, on Saturday, January 17.

Aiden Markram-led Durban Super Giants have had a disappointing campaign so far but they are still not out of contention for a spot in the playoffs. In nine matches, they have two wins and four defeats. The Super Giants lost their most recent clash, which was against the Royals, by six wickets.

On the other hand, Paarl Royals are the league leaders, having won five matches and lost just two in the ongoing season. One of their matches ended without a result. The Royals have already qualified for the playoffs. David Miller's men have won their last two matches, beating the Super Giants and Pretoria Capitals.

Spinners have done well at this venue and a prime example came earlier this season when the Super Giants faced Joburg Super Kings. Batters will have to give themselves some time to assess the conditions. Bowling first will be helpful as it is easier when the chasing side will has a score in front of them on such tracks.

David Miller has led the Royals from the front. In seven innings, he has scored 191 runs at an average of 47.75 and a strike rate of 151.58. The left-handed batter would want to continue his purple patch on Saturday.

Baartman is the leading wicket-taker in the tournament. He has accounted for 16 wickets in five matches at an average of 9.43. He will be oozing with confidence, having bagged a five-for in the last game against Pretoria Capitals.
