SA20 2024: Full schedule, squads, match timings, and live-streaming details
The second edition of the SA20 league, also known as the South Africa T20 League, is set to be held from January 10 to February 10, 2024.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape won the inaugural edition of the SA20 2023, beating table-toppers Pretoria Capitals by four wickets.
Capitals were the one of the finest teams to beat as they finished first with seven wins and just three losses. Following closely, Joburg Super Kings finished second with six wins and advanced to the semis, where Cape beat them by 14 runs.
South Eastern Cape, Paarl Royals, and Durban’s Super Giants finished with an equal number of wins and losses. However, Cape had a better net run rate which qualified them to the playoffs.
MI Cape Town had a very disappointing run, losing seven out of 10 games and finishing at the foot of the points table with 13 points.
This season Cape Town will miss the services of their former skipper Rashid Khan as he has been ruled out due to an injury. Former Windies all-rounder Kieron Pollard was named as his replacement as well as the captain.
Among the other team captains, Faf du Plessis will be heading the Super Kings while Keshav Maharaj takes on the captaincy role for the Super Giants. David Miller will lead the Royals whereas Ethan Bosch is set to captain the Pretoria Capitals. Aiden Markram, who currently captains the T20I side for South Africa, will be leading the Sunrisers Eastern Cape.
Venues include Kingsmead Cricket Ground in Durban, Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town, Boland Park in Paarl, Centurion Park in Centurion, and St George's Park Cricket Ground in Gqeberha.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Joburg Super Kings will kick off the season-opener of the SA20 2024 league at Super Kings' home ground, Gqeberha.
Last season, there were three playoff games, consisting of two semifinals and one final. This season, things have changed with a Qualifier 1 between the top two teams and an Eliminator between the third and fourth-placed teams.
The Qualifier 1 winner goes straight to the final, while the loser gets another shot in Qualifier 2 against the Eliminator winner. The Qualifier 2 victor will then move on to compete in the final, scheduled for February 10, 2024.
Without any further ado, let's delve into the schedule and timings of the upcoming SA20 2024.
