Dwaine Pretorius is a capable all-rounder, and in his limited opportunities he has done a decent job. The cricketer from Transvaal province can generate movement on helpful surfaces and can tonk the ball a long way. He has represented the South African team 19 times in ODIs and has scored 132 runs and has picked up 24 wickets. He is selected in the squad as a fast bowling all-rounder.

In his short ODI career, Pretorius has batted only 8 times so he may not be ready to take up the role completely. Till now he has bowled most of his overs in middle-overs so he is a one-dimensional bowler. He is an injury-prone player, and of late his form has not been good for his domestic side Highveld Lions. Pretorius will be a regular in the playing XI if Andile Phehlukwayo fails to deliver, but his record in white-ball cricket is not illustrious.
