PR and MICT Team Performances in SA20 2025
MI Cape Town has been a dominant force in the tournament under the leadership of Afghanistan’s superstar Rashid Khan. They topped the points table with 35 points from 10 matches, winning seven and securing five bonus points. Their exceptional net run rate of +2.446 reflects their dominance. MI Cape Town is in red-hot form, riding a five-match winning streak, which makes them the favorites heading into this high-pressure game.
On the other hand, Paarl Royals have also shown great consistency, winning seven out of their 10 league matches. However, with three losses and fewer bonus points, they finished second on the table with 28 points. The Royals started the tournament in stunning form, winning seven of their first eight matches. However, their momentum was slightly derailed by consecutive defeats in their last two games against Joburg Super Kings and SunRisers Eastern Cape.
Pitch & Conditions at St. George’s Park, Gqeberha
The St. George’s Park pitch has been tricky for batters this season. Pacers have found good movement off the surface, making stroke play challenging. With the average first-innings score hovering around 150, batsmen will have to work hard to settle in.
The pitch also offers some turn for spinners, making them a crucial factor in the middle overs. Pacers who hit the deck hard and bowl into the surface will enjoy the conditions, while batters who apply themselves can be rewarded later in the innings.
PR vs MICT Key Players for Dream11 Team
Ryan Rickelton (MI Cape Town) – Captain/Vice-Captain Choice
The left-handed opener has been in sublime form, scoring 259 runs in just six matches at a staggering strike rate of 177.39. His aggressive starts make him a crucial pick for Dream11.
Rassie van der Dussen (MI Cape Town)
The experienced batter has been MI Cape Town’s leading run-scorer this season, accumulating 330 runs at an average of 55. His ability to handle pressure and play match-winning knocks makes him a strong choice.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman (Paarl Royals) – Captain/Vice-Captain Choice
The Afghan mystery spinner has been a game-changer for Paarl Royals, picking up 14 wickets in 10 matches at a brilliant economy rate of 6.52. His variations can trouble even the best batters.
George Linde (MI Cape Town)
A valuable all-rounder, Linde can contribute with both bat and ball. His left-arm spin is effective on slower pitches, and he has the ability to play crucial cameos in the lower order.
Mitchell Owen (Paarl Royals)
Another impactful all-rounder, Owen has been consistent with both bat and ball. He chipped in with two wickets in his last game and has the ability to turn matches in Paarl Royals’ favor.
