TEAMS PREVIEW
Eastern Storm Preview
Easterns have been one of the most consistent outfits throughout the campaign. The team has suffered a defeat in just one of the league matches so far. The team has had major reasons behind going on such a winning run. After a comfortable semi-final match against Northern Cape, Easterns approach the final as one of the strongest outfits.
Christopher Britz has been the standout player for the team this season. After amassing 448 runs from his seven innings, the form of Britz will be crucial to Easterns and their hope of lifting the trophy. Britz has averaged an astronomical 89 from his seven innings with two centuries along the way – including one in the semi-final. Dewan Marais and Kabelo Sekhukhune would be the other crucial batsmen on form.
Amaan Khan showed a strong performance against Northern Cape with three wickets adding to his season’s tally of seven. Now, he is just one wicket behind Rasemene, who missed the semi-final. After having hit several scores of 150+ in the season, Easterns will be focusing heavily on their batting line-up to do the job in the final.
Eastern Storm Predicted Playing XI:
Christopher Britz, Kabelo Sekhukhune, Danie Rossouw, Dewan Marais, Shaveer Khan, Grant Thomson (c), Amaan Khan, Tumelo Simelane, Aron Visser, Divan Posthumus, Thulani Khumalo

KwaZulu-Natal Inland (AET Tuskers) Preview
KwaZulu-Natal Inland are delighted to have reached the final after finishing bottom of the group stages last season. This is a remarkable turnaround for a team that has been in strong form throughout the campaign. After having achieved comfortable success in the semifinals, KwaZulu-Natal Inland have their sights on the major title since the Africa T20 Cup in 2017.
Kagiso Rapulana might have been dismissed for 15 runs in the semifinals, but he has been one of the consistent players throughout the season. He has 226 runs at an average of 37 from his seven innings this season. Cameron Dean Shekleton put on a strong showing against the South Western Districts with 57 from 44 balls. He is now up to 145 runs for the season.
Ziyaad Abrahams continued his strong performance displayed throughout the campaign with a three-wicket haul against South Western Districts. He has now managed 12 wickets from his seven innings at an average of just 16.9. Mbulelo Budaza was another player who had a big impact in the semi-final with his bowling after picking up two wickets. He now has nine from his seven innings.
KwaZulu-Natal Inland (AET Tuskers) Predicted Playing XI:
Cameron Dean Shekleton, Kagiso Rapulana, Kyle Nipper, Sean Gilson, Mbulelo Budaza, Chad Laycock, Michael Erlank (c), Thabiso Ndlela, Sean Whitehead, Ziyaad Abrahams, Marcello Piedt
