Match Prediction

This match will be very interesting to watch as PR have not won a match since the match no.17 which was against JSK. On the other side, JSK have lost only one game since then. The Super Kings have been inconsistent throughout the tournament and we expect them to break the barrier in this match. We fancy the Paarl Royals to win this match.
