Pretoria Capitals will be looking to light up Centurion with entertaining cricket from their big hitters and their pace bowling attack. 

Looking at the batting department, New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham will entertain the crowd with his long-range hitting and accurate medium-pace bowling. 

The Kiwi is a hugely-popular on social media with his accounts enjoying a cult following, which will no doubt help get the Centurion crowd behind him and his team. He was particularly influential in the epic 2019 ICC World Cup final at Lord’s. Neesham is a vocal player who likes to get the crowd behind his team. Neesham claimed three wickets in the final of the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup and he scored 13 off 5 balls in the Super Over. Cool, calm and collected is what fans can expect from Neesham. 

Anrich Nortje and Wayne Parnell will be looking to vary the bowling attack and find swing with accurate bowling. Nortje used to play for the Delhi Capitals and his experience in pressure situations will be key. Nortje is ranked 18th on the ICC T20I bowling rankings and we expect him to be among the leading wicket takers at the SA20. 

22 year-old bowler Josh Little is the youngest player in the Pretoria Capitals team and he made his T20I debut for Ireland when he was only 16 and he has a T20 BBI of 5/13. The stage is set for Little to announce himself in style at the SA20 and you can purchase your tickets to this awesome cricket league now.
