First in the list of key players features Durban Heat's Kyle Abbott. The right-arm pacer is in great form with the ball for the team as he has six wickets to his name in just four matches. Valued at 9 Cr, Abbott has shown time and again in the ongoing competition that he can prove to be more than just a lively customer. Therefore, in conditions which will favour fast-bowling, the 31-year-old can prove to be an ideal purchase for your team. Abbott has played 122 T20 matches where he has 120 wickets to his name.
Simon Harmer – 8.5 Cr
Second in the list features Jozi Stars off-spinner Simon Harmer. The right-arm offie is in brilliant form with the ball as he has already claimed six wickets in just four matches. The most impressive aspect of Harmer's bowling so far is his economy-rate of 6.54, which is second-best by a bowler who has bowled more than 10 overs in the competition, which shows why he is the man to have in your team. Harmer has played 70 T20 matches where he has 47 wickets to his name.
Kagiso Rabada – 9.5 Cr
Last in the list features Jozi Stars' pacer Kagiso Rabada. The right-armer is having a poor time with the ball in the tournament and has only managed two wickets for the team in two matches. But Rabada, who is valued at 9.5 Cr, can prove to be a real trump card for your team in the game on Friday as he can be a lethal weapon, especially in Johannesburg's conditions. The 23-year-old has 19 wickets in eight Tests, 10 wickets in four ODIs and four wickets in two T20Is while playing at the venue, which shows why he is the player to have in your team.
