Pretoria Capitals have decided to set a target against visiting Paarl Royals in the 12th match of the ongoing SA20, South Africa's premier franchise-based T20 tournament, at SuperSport Park, Centurion on Saturday (January 18, 2025). (Live Blog | More Cricket News)

Plagued by washouts, hosts Capitals have won one in four outings. Rilee Rossouw & Co. started their SA20 2025 campaign with a heart-breaking two-run defeat against Durban Super Giants, then forced to share the spoils with the same opponents in the next outing thanks to rain.

They registered a commanding six-wicket win over two-time defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape but their last match, against Joburg Super Kings, was declared a no result as rain continues to play spoilsport. They are now third in the six-team table.

Rossouw, who won the toss and opted to bat first, said: "Looks like a different wicket here in Centurion, could be drier in the second innings. We've been training hard and are raring to go."

His opposite number David Miller didn't mind batting first. "We were actually looking to bowl first. Different conditions to Paarl," said the hard-hitting batter. "We need to adapt well, be disciplined and play the best cricket possible."

The New Jersey State Police have arrested the driver responsible, who is now charged with vehicular homicide. He is being held at the Salem County Correctional Facility.

The Royals are a rung below the Kings. They have two wins, against Sunrisers Eastern Cape by nine wickets and MI Cape Town by six wickets, and a defeat in between to the MI, by 33 runs.

This is the first game of the Saturday double header. Later in the day, second-place MI Cape Town host leaders Joburg Super Kings in a top-of-the-table clash at Newlands, Cape Town.
