1) Sunrisers Eastern Cape

The two-time champions in SA20, Sunrisers Eastern Cape boast a long lineup of all-rounders. They have a total of 9 all-rounders in the team and that gives them a major advantage in the league.

Out of the 9 all-rounders, Aiden Markram and Tom Abell will play an important for the team. The duo will be expected to be used as batting all-rounders because of their performance in 2024 with the bat.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape will also have Marco Jansen, Liam Dawson, and Beyers Swanepoel as the three bowling all-rounders. All three of them might get a chance to play every single fixture for the franchise because they had a positive outing in the previous year in the T20 cricket leagues.

2) Durban Super Giants

The runners-up from the previous edition of SA20 will be hoping to repeat their performance this year again and lift the trophy this year. For the same reason, the Giants have a total of 7 all-rounders in the team.

3) MI Cape Town

MI Cape Town has been a team that has struggled in both seasons of SA20. In both seasons, MI Cape Town has finished at the bottom of the point table and they come to play a new season with the memory of their nightmares.

One major boost MI Cape Town has received this year is that Rashid Khan is back in action and he will be available for the whole season of SA20. Dewald Brevis, Azmatullah Omarzai, and George Linde are the other names who will be part of the squad in the upcoming season of SA20.

Rashid Khan will be used as a bowling all-rounder. He is an exceptional spinner who can break partnerships during the middle overs with his variations. His team mate Azmatullah Omarzai will also be an intimidating factor for the team.
