Quarterfinal draw pits Sundowns against Highlands Park in tricky away trip

Mamelodi Sundowns will face a difficult away trip to Highlands Park in the quarterfinals of the Nedbank Cup after the draw was conducted on Tuesday night.

The ties will be played on the weekend of March 14-15‚ with the exact dates‚ venues and kick-off times to be revealed by the Premier Soccer League in due course.
