The ABC Motsepe League KwaZulu-Natal champions, who are under the guidance of experienced coach Clinton Larsen, reached this stage of the tournament after defeating fellow third-tier side Black Eagles 1-0 in the Last 16 game on March 13.
GOAL looks at the five players who are capable of rising to the occasion and playing a key role in helping Dynamos cause a major upset against Sundowns.
The midfield maestro is one of the most experienced players in the Dynamos squad and he has played for five clubs in the PSL including Kaizer Chiefs and Bidvest Wits.
Having produced a Man of the Match performance against Eagles, Zuke's experience and big-match temperament could very well be crucial in determining the outcome.
The nomadic striker plied his trade in the PSL between 2011 and 2020 - scoring goals for Chippa and Bloemfontein Celtic under his current coach Larsen who knows how to bring out the best in Manzini.
Manzini was part of the Celtic side which defeated Sundowns in the 2012 Telkom Knockout Cup final and will pose a threat to the Masandawana defence with his aerial prowess and powerful shots.
The promising attacker is a player who has reportedly attracted interest from PSL and National First Division clubs with his exploits for Dynamos.
An explosive attacker with an eye for goals, Vandala scored the only goal of the match against Uthongathi FC in the Last 32 encounter and he will be ready to shine on a big stage when he faces Sundowns.
The former South Africa senior and under-23 international is one Dynamos player Downs will be very familiar with the club having been linked with the attacking midfielder during his days with Maritzburg United.
Mekoa makes Dynamos tick with his ability to create chances for his teammates and he provided the assist when his side defeated Uthongathi. He will be keen to show Masandawana what they missed out on.
The well-travelled forward is a man with a point to prove having started his career at Sundowns in 2010, but he made just one PSL appearance before parting ways with the club.
Nguzana went on to gain top-flight experience while playing for Lamontville Golden Arrows, Platinum Stars and Baroka FC. The left-footed player will look to use physicality and sharp movement to unsettle the Downs defence.
