South Africans Heinrich Klaasen, Donovan Ferreira, and Nandre Burger are all expected to be in action in the Indian Premier League (IPL) Eliminator between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), in New Chandigarh, on Wednesday.
While Klaasen will be turning out for SRH, Ferreira and Burger will be in the pink of RR.
It will be a much improved viewing experience for SA cricket fans, and there was just one Proteas player in action in the first playoff match on Tuesday. That was Kagiso Rabada for Gujarat Titans (GT) as they went down by 92 runs to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Qualifier 1. GT will advance to Qualifier 2 on Friday.
The clash between RR and SRH is different though, as the loser of the match will be exiting the competition while the winner progresses to Qualifier 2 against GT.
