The two coaches, who joined the club prior to the start of the 2017/18 season, have transformed Bucs into one of the top sides in the country.

“We have all seen the growth in Pirates in the last two seasons,” the former South Africa international conutinued.

Fish expects Bakgaga to give Bucs a hard time with the Limpopo side having eliminated reigning champions Bidvest Wits and Mamelodi Sundowns on their way to the final

“Baroka won’t make it easy, they beat Sundowns and Wits," the retired defender stressed.

However, the former Charlton Athletic player backed the Buccaneers to secure a victory over Baroka and win the second Cup tournament of the season.

Pirates, who have won the Telkom Knockout once, will be looking to end their four-year trophy drought.
