Predicted Playing XIs

Eastern Cape

Matthew Breetzke is one of the dashing batters in the powerplay overs for Eastern Cape. Dane Paterson will be leading the pace attack for the side. Mthiwekhaya Nabe, a medium pacer, is an exciting prospect and can do well with the willow as well.

Predicted XI

Matthew Breetzke, Tsepo Ndwandwa, Mthiwekhaya Nabe, Kabelo Sekhukhune, Dane Paterson, Tristan Stubbs, Diego Rosier, Lesiba Ngoepe, Akhona Mnyaka, Glenton Stuurman, Sinethemba Qeshile.

Limpopo

Limpopo has a relatively inexperienced side and they would love to turn the tables this season after failing to make it to the knockouts last year. Morne Venter had an exceptional all-round record in U19 cricket with both bat and ball, which makes him a player to watch out for.

Predicted XI

Ludwig Kestner, Mtambozuko Ngam, Thamsanqa Rapelego, Sithembile Langa, Nyiko Shikwambana, Don Radebe, Michael Mahlabe, Amir Bux, Thomas Hobson, Morne Venter, Bruce Shiburi.
