The Durban Super Giants host the Paarl Royals at Kingsmead on Sunday. We take a look at the game from a betting angle.
DURBAN SUPER GIANTS
The Durban Super Giants opened their campaign against the Joburg Super Kings and they went down by 16 runs failing to chase down a massive 191 for victory.
They bounced back strongly in their next match in Cape Town against MI Cape Town winning by 5 wickets with 21 balls remaining. The Durban Super Giants had elected to field first after winning the toss and they restricted the Cape Town side to a 152 for 8 with most of the bowlers getting amongst the wickets. They then knocked off the runs with 5 wickets in hand and 3.5 overs to spare. Once again it was a real team contribution with Heinrich Klaasen the Top Batsman with 36 off 22 balls, but there were also plenty of other contributions from the other batsmen.
PAARL ROYALS
The Paarl Royals lost their opening match to MI Cape Town getting beaten by 8 Wickets after only scoring 142 for 7 in their 20 overs.
Their next game was against the Joburg Super Kings and they had a convincing 7 wicket win with 57 balls remaining. Joburg Super Kings had won the toss and elected to bat first, a decision that back-fired as the Paarl Royals bowled them out for 81 with Fortuin and Jones both getting 3 wickets apiece. Paarl Royals knocked the runs off with few problems, the top scorer was Jos Buttler not out on 29.

Suggested Bet: Durban Super Giants win at 23/20
Any team can beat any other team in this Competition on its day, however Durban Super Giants like the Paarl Royals have plenty of match winners in their side. I would have made this an even game so I am happy to take anything above even money about the Durban Super Giants.
Suggested Bet: Durban Super Giants Top Batsman, Heinrich Klaasen at 23/10
I was impressed with Klaasen’s last knock, he certainly looked in good nick and I am backing him to be the Top Batsman for the home team.
