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.

The T20 World Cup 2024 is all set to kick-start on June 2nd, promising to be an electrifying tournament with 20 teams vying for the ultimate glory. This edition marks a historic milestone, featuring the largest number of participating teams and being hosted across two diverse locations: the USA and the West Indies.

Among these teams, South Africa stands out as a top contender, yet they have a reputation to shake off—the notorious “chokers” tag, a label they’ve struggled to shed over the years.

South Africa’s Group D Matches

Key fixtures in this group include South Africa’s matches against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, which are expected to be highly competitive and crucial for advancing to the next stage. South Africa will kick off their campaign against Sri Lanka on June 3rd in New York.

3 South Africa players to watch out for in T20 World Cup 2024

South Africa’s success will heavily rely on the performances of a few key players who have proven themselves time and again in international cricket.

1. Aiden Markram

Aiden Markram, the captain, is a linchpin in the South African lineup. Known for his adaptability and composure, Markram’s role as a middle-order batsman is critical. Markram made his T20I debut against Sri Lanka in 2019 and has since accumulated 1118 runs in 39 matches. His ability to read the game and perform under pressure makes him indispensable.

Markram’s leadership will be tested as he navigates the team through the tournament. His strategic mind and experience in various conditions make him a vital player.

2. Heinrich Klaasen

Heinrich Klaasen is known for his explosive batting and finishing abilities. As one of the most reliable middle-order batters, his role is crucial for South Africa’s chances. Klaasen’s record speaks for itself, with several match-winning performances. His ability to handle pressure and deliver in crucial moments makes him a key player.

Klaasen’s power-hitting, particularly against spin, is invaluable. His performance in the IPL 2024 showcased his form and readiness for the World Cup.

3. Tristian Stubbs

Rising star Tristian Stubbs had a stellar IPL 2024 season, showcasing his wide range of strokes and finishing abilities. Stubbs scored 378 runs in IPL 2024 with a strike rate of 190.90. His aggressive style and ability to play under pressure make him a significant asset.

Stubbs’ performance in the middle order will be crucial, especially in the death overs. His partnership with experienced players like Klaasen can change the course of the game.
