On January 4, MI Cape Town and Paarl Royals will play the 13th match of SA20 2026. The famous Newlands in Cape Town will host the match. The situation is getting dire for MI Cape Town, the home team. They are in dire need of points to maintain their chances of making the playoffs as they languish at the bottom of the standings with zero victories from four games (three losses, one no-result). Friday's close defeat demonstrated their tenacity, but they were unable to finish the game when it counted most.
With eight points, the Paarl Royals are comfortably in third position right now, and they will be full of confidence. Their bowling depth has been confirmed by their ability to defend a total under extreme duress in the previous game, and their young batting stars are starting to shine.
