Nedbank Cup Round of 16: Pirates, Sundowns & Co. learn their fate

The Nedbank Cup will have a new champion after the elimination of Kaizer Chiefs in the Round of 32.

The Glamour Boys fell 2-1 to Stellenbosch in the Round of 32 despite coming into the match as clear favourites. Other teams that were sent home in the initial phase are Chippa United, Magesi, Orbit College, Marumo Gallants, Siwelele and Polokwane City.

In a draw conducted on Wednesday, Orlando Pirates landed a favourable draw whereby they will face second-tier side Casric Stars. The Sea Robbers will have the advantage of the Orlando Armstel Arena.

It will be a tricky affair, nevertheless, for Mamelodi Sundowns who laboured to a 2-1 win over Gomora FC. Masandawana have been paired with another Premier Soccer League outfit TS Galaxy.
