Potential Heroes

-        LJ du Preez is a powerful batsman that opens the batting and has scored some big scores recently.

-        Luke Beaufort is an opening batsman that can score big and is often a batsman that others can play around.

-        Tiaan van Vuuren is a quick opening bowler that takes wickets up front. If he doesn’t take wickets he creates pressure and others wake wickets because of the pressure that he applies.

Prospects for the Coca-Cola T20 Schools Challenge National Finals

-        They are a well-balanced team and they are well placed to do quite well in the tournament as long as they believe in themselves.

-        The team has a couple of game winning batsmen that they believe in.

-        Besides for Tiaan van Vuuren, their quick opening bowler, they have three left arm spinners which is quite unique.
