It's a hot and sunny day in Paarl. The Pretoria Capitals players disperse from a huddle

We've made a few changes to the Expert XI. Check out the Fantasy Handbook before locking in your teams.

Pitch Report: This is a new pitch. Very short side boundaries - 54 and 58 square boundaries, 80m straight down the ground. The pitch is so dry. I'll be surprised if it doesn't spin. 160 batting first might be a good surface. It's generally on the slower and lower side. Paarl Royals have become comfortable playing here.

Teams:

Paarl Royals (Playing XI): Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Joe Root, Rubin Hermann, Mitchell Van Buuren, David Miller(c), Dinesh Karthik(w), Dayyaan Galiem, Dunith Wellalage, Bjorn Fortuin, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Nqabayomzi Peter

Pretoria Capitals (Playing XI): Will Jacks, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Kyle Verreynne(w), Rilee Rossouw(c), Marques Ackerman, Keagan Lion Cachet, James Neesham, Senuran Muthusamy, Kyle Simmonds, Eathan Bosch, Jason Behrendorff

Pretoria Capitals have won the toss and have opted to field

Miller: We actually wanted to bat, so we got what we wanted. It is on the slower side, this year. This is a new wicket. Looking forward to bat first, it's a day game, so it's nice to defend. At the end of the day, you need to have better skills. Things are going pretty well. Guys have stood up. It's important to stay motivated and finish 1 and 2. Good fun behind the scenes.

Rossouw: We got to look at each other and perform better. Got to look after yourselves. Exactly the same team.

Pretoria Capitals have won the toss and have opted to field

12:00 Local Time, 10:00 GMT, 15:30 IST: It's double header day and first up, it's the clash between two teams who have had contrasting fortunes so far this season. Hello everyone and a warm welcome to the 20th match of SA20. Paarl Royals are sitting pretty at the top of the points table with 20 points in six matches. They've suffered just one defeat and are on a four-match winning streak. All their wins have come while chasing and they batted first when they lost to MI Cape Town. They are up against a team that's currently second from the bottom having registered just one win in 6 matches. Pretoria Capitals come into this encounter on the back of two successive losses which includes a hammering at the hands of Sunrisers Eastern Cape in their previous outing where they were bundled out for 97. They'll be hoping for a good all-round performance which they've been lacking so far. The Royals won the reverse fixture in Centurion by hunting down a target of 213. Can the Capitals get their revenge today? Mind you, they are up against a team that has won all the three matches at home this season.
