PR vs SEC Match Preview
Paarl Royals will be up against Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the third match of the SA20. Sunrisers Eastern Cape have been one of the consistent sides in the history of SA20. This is just the fourth edition, and the Sunrisers Eastern Cape has already won a couple of titles and was the runner-up last season. However, in a big move, they have let go of their captain from previous years, Aiden Markram. Sunrisers have done a reshuffle to their squad, and this year they will be led by Tristan Stubbs.
On the other hand, Paarl Royals have retained some of the key players like David Miller and have signed some exciting players. They have a balanced squad and will be keen to go all the way this season. This should be an enthralling contest.
