A grand total of 17 players from the four Nedbank Cup semifinalists will have to be careful in their next two games if they want to make it to the final event.

The semifinals of this season's Nedbank Cup take place this weekend as SuperSport United host Baroka FC and Orlando Pirates travel to Free State Stars, with all four clubs eyeing a spot in the last game of the 2015/16 South African season.
While just one player, Baroka's Mathari Mothupa, is suspended for the game on Saturday, 17 players across the four outfits find themselves sat on three yellow cards – just one away from a suspension.
All of the clubs do have a game to play between the semis and the final – their last game of the league season – and a booking this weekend would see them miss that game rather than the Nedbank showpiece.
In the past it has been known for players to obtain their fourth booking prior to a match that is deemed less important, and it may come as no surprise if those on the verge of a place in the final end up missing their final league game.
