Phehlukwayo can bowl with express pace and can swing the ball brilliantly. The South African can trouble the batsmen with his seaming deliveries and leg-cutters. In addition to this, Phehlukwayo can be valuable batsman lower down the order. He can hammer any bowling attack with his destructive style of play.

The 24-year-old will be more than handy if he is used as a pinch-hitter as the Proteas can clear the ropes easily with his power. While chasing a big total a player like Phehlukwayo can play a big role to accelerate the scoring.

Phehlukwayo possesses an all-round game but is particularly strong over extra cover and mid-wicket. Phehlukwayo is also strong while hitting the spinners with his powerful slog sweeps.

The left-hander has got the potential to be an allrounder if he concentrates on his batting. Phehlukwayo’s strike rate of 105.75 in 29 T20I highlights his quality to prove on as a hard-hitting batsman.
