DSG vs PR Head-to-Head SA20 2025: The group stage match between Durban Super Giants and Paarl Royals is due on 23 Jan 2025 as part of the South Africa 20 League. Before the arrival of the third edition of this league, Paarl Royals improved its rank moving from fourth position in the inaugural edition to third one in the last edition. On the other hand, Super Giants was a recent runner-up. Now, their stats for this edition speak up a different story as DSG is at the bottom in the points table, giving benefit to Paarl Royals.
Paarl Royals will be eying on their fourth winning streak standing on the top in the points table as this team has momentum. However, while playing against Super Giants, this in-form team has been on the back foot being able to win only one match out of four. The last encounter with DSG was bad luck as PR could not even score in three digits while chasing a big total at Kingsmead. It suggests that PR will have to take this match seriously and take revenge for the previous loss with batting support coming from Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Joe Root, and David Miller while Root performs well with the ball too.
It will be a pressure game for the side of Durban Super Giants as this home team for today’s match has claimed only one victory in a very close match. Rain interrupted two matches leaving them disappointed despite winning the toss both times. Now it is a do-or-die match for Super Giants. Besides Kane Williamson and Quinton de Kock being key performers, one factor that may work in their favor is that Kingsmead is their home ground.
These two teams are going to phase each other again in the SA20 2025. Here is everything you need to know about Paarl Royals vs Durban Super Giants head-to-head and stats, including the schedule and previous match results throughout the SA20 history.
