History & Evolution
The SA20 league was launched in 2023 by Cricket South Africa to establish a premier domestic T20 brand. Funded and owned by parent groups of various Indian Premier League (IPL) teams, the SA20 has South African fans back to historic grounds like Cape Town's Newlands and Johannesburg's Wanderers. It plays in a high-summer window, featuring local superstars alongside global franchise veterans.
