The SA20 League 2025 second match between Paarl Royals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape is scheduled for Saturday at Boland Park, Paarl. Paarl Royals are set to win the title in the new season after a strong 2024 showing that placed them second overall. Their campaign came to a halt after defeats in both playoff qualifiers, ending their run.

On the other hand, the Sunrisers Eastern Cape had a dream campaign last year, finishing runners-up after reaching the final with an outstanding performance throughout the tournament. Although they won't be able to lift the trophy again, the arrival of several exciting players gives them a reason to aim for another memorable performance this time.

PR vs SEC Probable Winners:

Paarl Royals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape have recently assembled strong teams for the new South African Twenty20 season. On paper, both appear to be very solid. However, the Eastern Cape has a slight advantage in terms of balance. This could easily go both ways if either team gets to the chase, but we still believe Eastern Cape will win the game. Considering the team combination, Sunrisers Eastern Cape is expected to win this match.
