Captains
Raynard van Tonder NWD | bat
In an otherwise disappointing batting performance by the North West team, Raynard Van Tonder is an exception. The 25-year-old has been one of the few batters to put up a fight and scored over 180 runs during the current season.
Kagiso Rapulana KNI | bat
32-year-old Kagiso Rapulana has been the lone star that shone bright for the Tuskers with the bat this season. With scores of 60 and 43 in the last two games the 32-year-old has been trying his best to help his side compete during the tournament.
Top
Rubin Hermann NWD | WK
North West star Rubin Hermann has become a run scoring machine for his North West team. The 27-year-old has scored 327 runs so far with one century and two half-centuries. If he can continue this run of form a place in the South African will not be far.
Keith Dudgeon KNI | ALL
Tuskers all-rounder Keith Dudgeon has impressing one and all with his batting and bowling prowess this season. The 28-year-old has scored 140 runs with the bat so far and also picked 7 wickets with a best of 4/5 in the game against Lions.
Budget
Meeka-eel Prince NWD | bat
North West’s opening batter Prince has been a steady batter at the top of the order. His number of 141 runs from 8 games with just one half-century doesn’t give much confidence. Prince though is a talented batter and he needs to rise to the occasion to prove his talents to his team.
Thando Ntini KNI | bowl
A fast bowler just like his Illustrious father Makhaya Ntini, the 23-year-old has then ability to bowl a heavy ball. Playing his first game of the season for the Tuskers, Ntini picked two wickets including that of former South African batter Khaya Zondo.
