Two Orlando Pirates stars that would walk into any team in the league

Orlando Pirates might feel hard done by after their 0-0 draw in the MTN8 semifinal first-leg.

The Buccaneers certainly created enough chances to warrant winning that match. Be it as it may, they’re still in a strong position ahead of the second leg on October 22nd. Man of the match Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo, in particular, caught the eye.

Orlando Pirates players that would currently star for any PSL team

Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo has scored seven DStv Premiership goals in 2022, with only Peter Shalulile (16) notching more than him this calendar year. That’s an impressive number for a creative midfielder. Goals from midfield are a precious commodity, and Ndlondlo can make them as well as score them. His tight technique makes him one of the best players to watch in South Africa.

Another man who we fancy to start for any PSL side is also a man who operates up top.

Zakhele Lepasa is still only 25 but he’s already a nuisance for opposition defenders. Lepasa is only getting better and is already a regular for Bafana Bafana and the Buccaneers. He’s not the most conventional number 9 but he’s a tricky operator.

Ndlondlo, Lepasa and the rest of their Pirates colleagues are in action this afternoon away to Sekhukhune. A win would move them to within two points of PSL leaders Sundowns.

Do you think Lorch and Ndlondlo would walk into the Sundowns team? Let us know in the comments!
