Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns get third-tier opponents in Nedbank Cup Last-32 as defending champions Orlando Pirates are paired with PSL strugglers

The Nedbank Cup Last-32 draw was conducted on Thursday with interesting match-ups being witnessed.

Two ABC Motsepe teams are relishing to perform giant-killing acts after they were paired with traditional giants Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns.

Holders Orlando Pirates will face Premier Soccer League strugglers Richards Bay in one of the four fixtures featuring top-flight league teams.

Interestingly, Amakhosi get third-tier opponents just as another ABC Motsepe side Umvoti FC were yearning to be drawn against the Soweto giants, saying it "would be an easy" fixture for them.

The Glamour Boys have now gone for a decade without winning a piece of silverware and that makes the Nedbank Cup a priority for them.

Pirates are the defending champions and will be bidding for a third straight Nedbabnk Cup title after beating Sundowns in the final last season.

The PSL is yet to reveal the dates and venues of the Nedbank Cup last-32.

For now, the likes of Chiefs, Pirates and Sundowns are focusing on their PSL and continental matches.
