Dolphins stars ready to light up SA20

WITH the domestic cricket season shifting focus to the upcoming inaugural edition of the Betway SA20, a number of Hollywoodbets Dolphins stars will be representing the various franchises in the competition which starts on January 10.

The first match of the new competition will be a Western Cape derby between MI Cape Town and the Paarl Royals with both sides having Dolphins representation in their respective squads.

In the Winelands, Dave Miller will lead the Paarl Royals for the competition, while Dolphins all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo was the team’s wild-card pick for the tournament.

Durban’s Super Giants have a strong Dolphins flavour with Prenelan Subrayen and Keshav Maharaj in the squad, while former Dolphins Lance Klusener and Jonty Rhodes form part of the coaching staff.
