In a highly anticipated clash, David Miller's Paarl Royals are set to host Kieron Pollard's MI Cape Town for match number 14 of the SA20 2024 season at Boland Park. The encounter marks the reverse fixture of a recent showdown at Newlands, where MI Cape Town emerged victorious, securing an emphatic 8-wicket win while successfully chasing down a target of 172 runs.
Both teams have exhibited strong performances in the early stages of the season. The Paarl Royals kicked off their campaign with two consecutive victories, showcasing their form and determination.
