Jansen can be lethal with the new ball and was the leading wicket-take in the recently concluded SA20. He can also be handy with his batting.
Daryl Mitchell NZ | ALL
Daryl Mitchell has scored 1792 runs in 47 ODIs at an average of 49 and can also bowl a few overs of medium pace. He will be keen to do well
Tom Latham NZ | WK

Temba Bavuma SA | BAT
Temba Bavuma has scored 1733 runs in 46 ODI matches at an average of 44. He scored a half century in his last game.
Heinrich Klaasen SA | WK
Heinrich Klassen is a destructive batter and a very good player of spin. He should enjoy these shorter boundaries and look to get a big score.
Matt Henry NZ | BOWL
Matt Henry has been bowling well in this format and will be a handy budget pick against this opposition.
