CT vs PRL Dream11 Team Prediction, Match Preview, Fantasy Cricket Hints: Captain, Probable Playing 11s, Team News; Injury Updates For Today’s SA20 Match No. 1 CT vs PRL in Newlands Stadium, Cape Town, 9PM IST, January 10

South African left-arm spinner Tabraiz Shamsi, who is part of Paarl Royals’ in the inaugural edition of the SA20, has said that his side has a lot of experienced World Cup-winning players and franchise title winners and it will help them in dealing with the pressure situations in the league. The Royals will take on home side MI Cape Town in the opening game of SA20 T20 League 2023 at the Newlands stadium in Cape Town on Tuesday (January 10).

Talking before a training session on Sunday at the franchise’s home ground of Boland Park, Shamsi said he’s looking forward to the match-ups in SA20 and believes the pitches will vary at the six venues. The World No. 6 T20I bowler initially spoke about returning to the Royals franchise and shared his thoughts on the current Paarl Royals squad.

“It’s really nice to be back with the Royals franchise, having played in the IPL as well. At the Paarl Royals, I think we’ve got a good squad which is very balanced with the right mix of youth and experience. The other aspect is that we have a lot of winners in our team, who have won big titles around the world, whether it’s the World Cup or the IPL for instance, so that experience counts a lot in those pressure situations,” said Shamsi in a media release.

Since his T20I debut in 2017, Shamsi has picked up 73 wickets in just 59 matches at an economy of 7.14, and says he always thrives under pressure.
