The side has a strong South African flavour to it. 3 out of the 5 international stars are from South Africa. Apart from Parnell the captain, Quinton De Kock and Heinrich Klassen are also part of SOR. QDK is one of the most destructive openers in T20I cricket. Klassen on the other hand is coming off an excellent IPL. He is one of those rare overseas batters who is good against both pace and spin. There will be a lot of responsibility on his shoulders.
Andrew Tye, another T20 veteran will lead the bowling charts. Dasun Shanaka the Sri Lankan captain is the fifth international player in the side. He is an MVP in his own right. These 5 players will be expected to do most of the heavy lifting for SOR this season.
Team preview WAF
There is an almost even distribution of players from 3 countries in this team. Australia leads the charts with 3 players. Captain Moises Henriques is a proven performer in league cricket across the world. His utility skills will come in handy for WAF. Josh Philippe and Ben Dwarshuis are other Australian players part of the team. There are two players each from South Africa and New Zealand.
WAF has shown a lot of faith in the Proteas bowling department. They picked Marco Jansen and Anrich Nortje. The latter is one of the fastest bowlers in the world. Glenn Phillips, another T20 star makes up the roster along with his compatriot Adam Milne. The side has an interesting bunch of stars with different skill sets.
