PR Team News
After injuring his foot whilst batting and not being able to field in the previous game, captain David Miller missed the game on Wednesday. He is likely not to be risked again in this match and as a result we expect Jos Buttler to captain the team once more.
PR Key Players
- Jos Buttler - the stand-in captain added another 22 runs to his tally for this season in the win over Joburg Super Kings and he is enjoying his cricket in this tournament.
- Wihan Lubbe - The 31 year old left-hander was in fine form in the last game and top scored with 57 runs from 48 balls after hitting three fours and three sixes.
- Lungi Ngidi - The pace bowler was expensive on Wednesday but still took a wicket. He will settle for the same in this game as his role is to be the strike-bowler in the team.
- Andile Phehlukwayo - The bowling all-rounder is an underrated player at both domestic and international level. He has gone wicketless only once in this tournament.
