Structure of the SA20 league!
The league will start on January 10 and end on February 11 with games being played at the Wanderers in Johannesburg. The franchise-based tournament will begin with a matchup between MI Cape Town and Paarl Royals at Newlands in Cape Town. In just over a month, 33 games including two round-robin leagues.

From January 10 at Newlands in Cape Town until the opening final on February 11 at the Wanderers in Johannesburg. Six teams, all supported by Indian Premier League franchises, are scheduled to compete against one another. We can expect action-packed entertainment from the teams.
