Durban’s Super Giants (DSG) face Paarl Royals in Match 18 of SA20 2025 on January 23 at Kingsmead, Durban. DSG’s season has been a struggle, with just one win from six games, leaving them at the bottom of the table. In their last completed match, they suffered a six-wicket loss to Sunrisers Eastern Cape, managing only 115/8 despite Kane Williamson’s gritty 44 and Naveen-ul-Haq’s late 30-run cameo. Skipper Keshav Maharaj impressed with 2/18, but their batters must deliver to stay alive in the tournament.
In contrast, the Royals are in stellar form with four wins from five matches, sitting near the top of the table. They recently defeated Joburg Super Kings by six wickets, thanks to a disciplined bowling attack led by Bjorn Fortuin and a solid chase anchored by Mitchell van Buuren (44) and skipper David Miller (40*). The Royals aim to maintain their momentum and secure another victory.
Kingsmead Stadium Pitch Report
The Kingsmead pitch has offered a mix of opportunities this season. With an average run rate of 8.5, batters can benefit from the pitch’s pace and bounce. However, spinners have dominated, taking over half the wickets, making players like Noor Ahmad, Keshav Maharaj, and Mujeeb Ur Rahman key players to watch. In the last game, the ball held up slightly, suggesting pacers should focus on varying their pace and targeting hard lengths instead of bowling too short or full. Chasing has proven tough, with three of four matches won by teams batting first, making the toss and batting first advantageous.
