Paarl’s Boland Park is one of the most scenic cricket venues in the world, and this is the home ground of Paarl Royals in the SA20 League. Paarl Royals will be facing Durban Super Giants in the 10th league match of the tournament at this venue later today.

The Paarl Royals are aiming to bounce after a defeat in the last match. This team has some great T20 batters in Jason Roy, Jos Buttler, Eoin Morgan, David Miller, etc, but the bowling of the side has not been that great. They will be tested against a strong Durban lineup.
Durban Super Giants have played some great cricket in the tournament, where Quinton de Kock has been in great form. The all-rounders of the side are excellent as well, and this will be yet another opportunity for them to prove their class.
Boland Park Paarl average score T20
The Boland Park in Paarl has not been a great track for batting, and the records here at the venue prove the same as well. In the last SA20 match, the same thing was evident where the spinners dominated the proceedings. Just a single T20I has been played here, where the first-inning score was 146 runs.
This ground has hosted a lot of T20 domestic matches, and the data shows the same there as well. A total of 25 T20s are played here, where the average 1st innings score has been 157 runs only. Out of 25, 13 matches have been won by the chasing teams at this venue.
Highest successful T20 run chase in Paarl T20s

Paarl Rocks scored 195/2 in the 1st innings, where Cameron Delport and Faf du Plessis scored brilliant half-centuries. Durban Heat achieved the target in 18.5 overs, where Alex Hales played a knock of 97 runs in 55 balls.
