In the Eliminator of the 2024 SA20 competition on Wednesday evening, Paarl Royals will face Joburg Super Kings. The Royals finished in third spot in the group stage, five points ahead of the Super Kings in fourth. Paarl Royals were leading the group stage until a series of poor results. However, they finished third and must now find a way to win again or face elimination. Johannesburg Super Kings lost just one of their final four group stage games, allowing them to finish in the top four and advance to the play-off stage. They defeated Durban’s Super Giants with one ball remaining in their previous game, which will boost their confidence ahead of this match.

Knockout cricket is always exciting, but the SA20 Eliminator is especially so. The huge improvement in form of the Johannesburg Super Kings means that this game is not decided before the teams take the field, and with Faf du Plessis making runs, anything is possible. However, we believe Jos Buttler’s batting has been on a different level than many others throughout the tournament, and we expect him to perform again as the Paarl Royals win the game. Considering the team combination, Paarl Royals is expected to win this match.
