The third game of SA20 Tournament 2025 will have Royal Pearl assuming Eastern Cape sunrise. The competition will take place at Boland Park, Paarl.
Paarl Royals vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape
The Royals will be captained by the experienced David Millera player known for his finishing ability and leadership abilities. The team features a balanced lineup with a variety of powerful hitters and bowlers who can take advantage of the slow conditions at Boland Park. The Royals will look to start their campaign on a high and take advantage of the favorable conditions at home.
The Eastern Cape, led by Aiden Markramwill try to recover later suffering a crushing 97-run defeat against MI Cape Town in his first game. The collapse of the team’s batting in the previous match exposed their vulnerabilities, particularly against the disciplined bowling attacks. Markram and his unit will need to regroup quickly to avoid further setbacks in the tournament.

Boland Park Launch Report
Boland Park presents a unique challenge compared to the typical fast, bouncy courses found in South Africa. This venue is known for its slower surface, which makes scoring runs a more difficult task. Batsmen often have difficulty timing their shots effectively, especially as the game progresses and the pitch begins to deteriorate.
Spinners, particularly finger spinners, have consistently thrived here, especially in the second innings. Big boundaries at mid-wicket increase their effectiveness as they force batsmen to take calculated risks to clear the ropes. Additionally, scoreboard pressure plays an important role, making the chase even more challenging. Teams that adapt to these conditions, taking advantage of their spinners and batting sensibly, often find success here. Players who can vary their pace and maintain a tight line are expected to dominate the process.
