On Monday evening, the Nedbank Cup quarterfinal draw was conducted in Johannesburg, following a weekend filled with thrilling matches in the Last 16 fixtures. The event took place at the SuperSport studios in Randburg and was attended by players from the eight quarterfinalist clubs, senior officials from the Premier Soccer League (PSL) and Nedbank, as well as members of the media. The draw was broadcast live on the SuperSport PSL Channel.

- AmaZulu FC vs Casric Stars
