Lhuan-dre Pretorius backs Paarl Royals to win SA20 Season 4

That result sets up another crucial clash with Sunrisers Eastern Cape in Qualifier 2 at the Wanderers this evening, as they aim to reach the final, and he says they have what it takes.

"I think we have a good enough side. We back ourselves and we are in a really good space as a team, so we believe we can go all the way."

In SEC, they face a team that knows how to get to the final, and even win this tournament, having played the decider in all three previous seasons and winning the trophy twice. Pretorius knows this is a tall order for his side but says they will focus on the game in front of them, not on who they face.

"I think when it comes down to the day, it's the team that wants it more on the day. It's bat versus ball, so if you play the names, you might have a bit of trouble because there are a lot of big names in that team."

The match comes less than 24 hours after their last one, giving them a desperately quick turnaround to prepare. He believes the best way to handle this is to get his mind as far away from cricket as possible during the few hours they have.
