With AB de Villiers as their Marquee Player, Tshwane Spartans have the highest number of foreign players. Sean Williams and Sikandar Raza from Zimbabwe, Eoin Morgan from England and Jeewan Mendis from Sri Lanka are some of the overseas players, Spartans will be relying upon.
Cape Town Blitz
Cape Town Blitz will miss a couple of big names in the first few couples of encounters. Skipper Farhaan Behardien, Quinton de Kock, all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo and pacer Dale Steyn are on National duty in Australia and will be the ones missing out.
Warm-up games
