Sinethemba Qeshile WAR | WK

Young Warriors wicketkeeper Andile Qeshile destroyed the North West bowling attack in the last match for his side. Qeshile top scored with 51 runs from 30 balls with 4 fours and 3 sixes to enable the Warriors reach 186 on the board. The assault meant that the Warriors won the game by 24 runs to keep their unbeaten start going.

8

Patrick Kruger WAR | BAT

29-year-old Patrick Kruger has been making a huge case for himself to be included in the South African team. The Warrior all-rounder has been impressing everyone with his blazing batting display. With 46 from 21 balls the right-handed batter showed his skills with the bat once again.

7

Evan Jones LIO | BAT

Considered an unknown commodity Evan Jones has been one of the best new talents this year in the CSA T20 Challenge 2024. The 27-year-old scored 29 runs from just 19 balls as well bowling 2.4 overs for 21 runs without a wicket. Jonesā€™ late order hitting meant that his could recover from the early blows.

9

Junaid Dawood LIO | BOWL

Leg-spin bowler Junaid Dawood has been in decent form with the ball in the last few games. With 1/16 from 2 overs the 27-year-old has been able to make his reputation grow in the domestic circuit

7.5

Beyers Swanepoel WAR | BOWL

Right arm fast bowler Beyers Swanepoel has been impressing one and all with his pace. The Warriors pace ace picked 2/28 from his 4 overs in the last game to continue his fine run with the ball.

Rassie van der Dussen

LIO | BAT

Veteran South African batter Rassie Van Der Dussen has been enduring a horrid run of form. The right-handed batter was out for a first ball duck as questions over his form have begun to surface.

7.5

Jiveshan Pillay

WAR | BAT

After making a good start to the CSA T20 Challenge 2024 season, the form of young Pillay has taken a huge slump. The right-handed batter struggled to get going with the bat before being dismissed for 7 runs from 10 ball in the previous game for the Warriors.
