The all-rounder duo of Wiaan Mulder and Jason Smith brings balance to the squad with their versatility across batting, bowling, and fielding. Mulder has surpassed 500 SA20 runs and is closing in on ten wickets in the tournament. Heinrich Klaasen, known for his aggressive finishing abilities, is a key figure in the middle order. Englishman Chris Woakes strengthens the pace attack, excelling with the new ball and boasting over 170 T20 wickets.

Spin duties are spearheaded by captain Keshav Maharaj, supported by Prenelan Subrayen, another DSG local.
