The second edition of the SA20 will begin on January 10, 2024, with defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape taking on Joburg Super Kings in Gqeberha. This time around, double-headers will only be played on Saturdays, and an earlier 3pm local time start is planned for Sundays to allow fans to attend the games with less difficulty.
As ESPNcricinfo had reported earlier ^(https://lotus365.today/goto/https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/sa20-teams-given-r39-million-salary-cap-to-build-their-squads-1381417), the tournament moves from away from semi-finals in 2024, to three playoffs (an eliminator and two qualifiers) before the final on February 10.
The end date of the tournament means there will be a clash with South Africa’s Test series in New Zealand, which is due to start on February 4.
A pre-season player auction will be conducted on September 27.
