After months of anticipation, the SA20 is finally about to take off as South Africa’s premier domestic T20 competition, aimed to revive Proteas cricket and safeguard its future for generations to come. In a system plagued by a heavy talent drain, SA20 is Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) major attempt at securing their playing depth.
The tournament had been in plans for long and is now set to take the footing over the next one month, with multiple corporate giants invested in it. All six teams participating in the competition are owned by franchises who have a stake in the cash-rich Indian Premier League, something which is expected to provide it with the much-needed financial stability in its infancy.
As per the tournament format, six franchises Durban’s Super Giants, Joburg Super Kings, MI Cape Town, Paarl Royals, Pretoria Capitals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape will face off against each other twice during the league stage before the top 4 enter the semifinals and their winners contest the final of the inaugural SA20.
