Rabada, Bavuma behind Kaizer Chiefs for Soweto Derby with Orlando Pirates

The pair are Chiefs fans, and pledged their support for the team when they were presented with Amakhosi jerseys by defender Lorenzo Gordinho on Thursday.

"I have never been to a Soweto Derby and this will be my first," fast-bowling sensation Rabada is quoted as saying by the club's website.

"I hope my presence will help us win."

Batsman Bavuma added: "I have been a Chiefs fan all my life. I am really a hard-core supporter. I attend matches whenever possible, although the last Derby I saw live was two years ago.”

Rabada produced the second-best bowling figures (13/144) by a South African in a Test against England earlier this week, while Bavuma recently became the first black cricketer to score a Test century for the country.
