Joe Root’s connection with a Royals franchise is not new. In 2023, the IPL team Rajasthan Royals (RR) signed him, marking his debut in the league. Root played three matches for RR, scoring a total of 10 runs. Though RR did not retain him for the 2024 season, he will now join the Paarl Royals for SA20 2025. Announcing his arrival, Paarl posted an edited picture of Root with the text ‘Royal Again. The social media admin captioned the post as follows.

Root has extensive T20 experience but is no longer a first-choice selection for England’s T20I team. His last T20I appearance for England was on May 5, 2019, against Pakistan at Sophia Gardens.

“We are excited to leverage his expertise, personality, and intelligence,” commented Kumar Sangakkara on Joe Root joining the Paarl Royals. The Royals’ Director of Cricket praised Root and welcomed him to the team, stating in a media release:

SA20 will commence on January 9, 2025, in South Africa. The Paarl Royals have yet to qualify for the final in the two seasons played so far. Root’s arrival could potentially change the team’s fortunes, making this season an exciting one to watch.

PR vs JSK Match Preview

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.

PR vs JSK Probable Winners:

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.

West Indies all-rounder Fabian Allen faced a terrifying ordeal when he was held at gunpoint by assailants outside his Johannesburg hotel. This alarming incident occurred during daylight hours, sending shockwaves throughout the cricketing community and raising concerns about player safety during the SA20 tournament, set to conclude on February 10.

Allen, a crucial player for the Paarl Royals in the SA20, was targeted by unknown individuals while outside the hotel. This brazen robbery has not only deeply affected Allen but has also sparked worry among fellow cricketers and fans, generating widespread discussion on social media.

The dynamic West Indies cricketer, known for his explosive batting and bowling skills, was understandably shaken by the harrowing encounter. Such incidents not only jeopardize player safety but also raise questions about the adequacy of security measures provided by host countries for sporting events, putting South Africa under scrutiny in this instance.

In response to this distressing event, both the SA20 league and the Paarl Royals have released statements affirming their commitment to player safety. They are actively cooperating with authorities to bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure the ongoing security of players participating in the tournament.

“On our official website, the Paarl Royals wish to confirm that the West Indian all-rounder is unharmed and is relishing his experience at the SA20 tournament. He, alongside his teammates and support staff, is diligently gearing up for the crucial Eliminator scheduled for Wednesday,” stated the Royals.

Although professional athletes are accustomed to confronting challenges on the field, the prospect of violence beyond the sporting realm is an unsettling and concerning reality. This incident may mark the inaugural instance of a cricketer enduring a gunpoint robbery.

The Paarl Royals have requested that media outlets refrain from engaging in further speculation regarding the Fabian Allen incident

“We kindly ask the media to refrain from further speculation regarding the safety of Fabian Allen and his teammates. Let them concentrate on the important match ahead. Our franchise collaborates closely with the league to prioritize the safety and welfare of our players and staff, while also respecting their personal time,” concluded the statement.

Fabian Allen is available for selection and has accompanied the team for their Eliminator match against the 4th-placed Joburg Super Kings scheduled for tomorrow. While the Royals were knocked out of the tournament in the early stages last year, this season has seen improved performances, raising hopes for a potential title run.

The Paarl Royals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape will face off in Match 27 of the 2024 SA20 at Boland Park on Friday evening.

The Paarl Royals have already qualified for the tournament’s knockout stage, but their recent form has been poor, with losses to Durban’s Super Giants by large margins in back-to-back games. Sunrisers Eastern Cape are emerging as one of the teams to watch as the knockout stage approaches. Although they have yet to face Paarl Royals in this year’s tournament.

DSG vs PR Match Preview

Durban’s Super Giants defeated Paarl Royals in the top-of-the-table clash on Friday evening, and the two teams will face off again on Sunday afternoon in Durban. The Super Giants won by 57 runs at Boland Park, leapfrogging the Royals into first place. Durban’s Super Giants appeared to be stuttering in their campaign, but victories over MI Cape Town and Paarl Royals have not only put them back on track, but also propelled them to the top of the table. Paarl Royals had a disappointing afternoon and evening at Boland Park on Friday, but they will welcome the opportunity to right the wrongs so quickly against the same opponents. The prize of returning to the top of the table will most likely bring out the best in the Royals’ top players.

Top Picks – Durban Super Giants

• Quinton de Kock- the left-hander has opened the batting and gone in at number three during the tournament but batting at number four delivered 83 not out from 51 balls on Friday.
• Reece Topley- the tall Englishman looked set to go wicketless for the second successive match before he picked up the wickets Andile Phehlukwayo and Obed McCoy with his final three balls in Match 19.

Top Picks – Paarl Royals

• Jos Buttler- only one batter has scored more runs than the right-handed opener who hit another five fours and a six in his innings on Friday.

Vice-captain – Lungi Ngidi, Heinrich Klaasen

Wicketkeeper – Jos Buttler

DSG vs PR Probable Winners:

The quick rematch among Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Pretoria Capitals produced an entirely distinct outcome after a one-sided first match this week, and just because Durban’s Super Giants won on Friday does not guarantee victory on Sunday. However, Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klaasen’s return to form will be a source of concern for Paarl Royals, who rely heavily on David Miller and Jos Buttler in this match. Our prediction is for an exciting game, with the Durban Super Giants taking the win. Considering the team combination, Durban Super Giants is expected to win this match.

DSG vs PR Match Preview

On Friday evening at Boland Park, Paarl Royals will face Durban Super Giants in Match 19 of the 2024 SA20 tournament. This is a top-of-the-table clash, with Paarl Royals leading the way with five wins and only one loss this season. Paarl Royals were without their captain on Wednesday, but it made no difference as they still won by 5 wickets with one over remaining. They have good batting depth in their squad, and we expect them to win again on Friday. Durban’s Super Giants had a great start to the season before losing to Pretoria Capitals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape. They have, however, returned to winning ways and will travel to Paarl hoping to reclaim first place in the table.

PR vs JSK Match Preview

The Johannesburg Super Kings will face the Paarl Royals in Match 17 of the 2024 SA20 on Wednesday evening at the Wanderers Stadium. The Super Kings earned their first win of the season in their most recent game, but they will face the league leaders, the Royals. Joburg Super Kings were soundly defeated by MI Cape Town, Durban’s Super Giants, and Paarl Royals in their first three matches, so their victory on Saturday was unexpected. However, if they are to win again this time, they will need to perform at their peak. The way a team responds to defeat is always an indicator of their strength, and Paarl Royals passed the test with flying colors on Sunday, avenging their 8-wicket loss in Match 11 by defeating the same opposition by 59 runs. They will fancy their chances at the Wanderers Stadium.

Paarl Royals will face the Johannesburg Super Kings in Match 9 of the 2024 SA20 on Wednesday evening at Boland Park. The Royals have played two games and won two so far in the tournament, while the Super Kings are still looking for their first win after being defeated by Durban’s Super Giants on Monday. Paarl Royals have started the season with two consecutive wins over Pretoria Capitals, first by 27 runs at Boland Park and then by 10 runs at Centurion. Joburg Super Kings lost on Saturday to MI Cape Town and then on Monday to Durban’s Super Giants, and in both games, they were far behind their opponents by the end. This appears to be another tough contest on Wednesday.

Topmost Picks for PR vs JSK Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Paarl Royals

• Jos Buttler- the England white ball skipper had a very disappointing 2023 Cricket World Cup but found form again during the T20I series with West Indies during December.
• Obed McCoy- the tall and powerful left-arm pace bowler can often be expensive as he targets wickets over anything else. His T20 strike-rate is 15.2.

Top Picks – Joburg Super Kings

• Reeza Hendricks – With his opening partner struggling for runs, the South Africa international top scored for the Super Kings with 38 runs from 32 balls on Monday.
• Nandre Burger – The left-arm pace bowler got the wicket of an opener in the last game and has had a bright start to the tournament with three wickets from two matches.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for PR vs JSK Dream11 Team:

Jos Buttler, Jason Roy, Faf du Plessis, David Miller, Reeza Hendricks, Moeen Ali, Romario Shepherd(VC), Wihan Lubbe, Andile Phehlukwayo(C), Lizaad Williams, Lungi Ngidi

PR vs JSK Probable Winners:

If early season results are any indication, the Paarl Royals will easily defeat the Johannesburg Super Kings on Wednesday evening. However, an aggressive spell of bowling from Nandre Burger, or some clean hitting from Moeen Ali, could jumpstart the Super Kings’ season quickly. We expect the Johannesburg Super Kings to put on a better batting display than we saw on Monday, but we believe the Paarl Royals will be difficult to compete with. We predict that Paarl Royals will win again. Considering the team combination, Paarl Royals is expected to win this match.
