Choices for captain

Andile Phehlukwayo

Dan Christian

Quinton de Kock

Since both Phehlukwayo and Christian are all-rounders, they are expected to perform with the bat and the ball. Hence, they could get a lot of points. Quinton de Kock opens the batting and is one of the best limited-overs batsmen there is. In addition, with him being a wicketkeeper, he could get quite a few points with catches/stumpings.
