Sundowns booked their place in the quarter-finals of the tournament after beating Motsepe Foundation Championship side Maritzburg United 2-0 in the round of 16 thanks to a brace by Thembinkosi Lorch.
The Brazilians were last in action on Tuesday after edging Cape Town Spurs 1-0 courtesy of a penalty by Lucas Ribeiro Costa in the DStv Premiership.
Masandawana will be without Khuliso Mudau due to suspension.
AmaTuks, on the other hand, made it to the quarter-finals after beating Moroka Swallows 2-1 in the last 16 thanks to goals by Tebogo Mohlamonyane and Thabang Sibanyoni.

Tlisane Motaung's charges are just a point behind leaders Magesi in second spot in the National First Division table.
