The first ball of the much anticipated SA20 League will be bowled on Tuesday, 10 January at Newlands in a Western Cape derby between MI Cape Town and Paarl Royals.
The full schedule of 33 matches to be played at six venues across South Africa was announced on Tuesday, with only two months to go until the start of the country’s newly formed T20 league.
The SA20 TV rights agreement is in place for 10 years, ensuring a decade of income for Cricket South Africa , which“This long-term partnership between the SA20 and Viacom18 as our official Indian broadcaster is a catalyst that supports our ambitions to build the world’s second-biggest league,” said SA20 commissioner Graeme Smith.
The partnership will cover all international cricket from South Africa, including the Mahatma Gandhi-Nelson Mandela Series between India and South Africa. “With six IPL [Indian Premier League] owners expanding their brands in South Africa, Viacom18 are the perfect partner to take the SA20 into the homes of the passionate and cricket-loving Indian market.”
Each team will play five home and five away matches, with fans able to get a taste of what the IPL-owned teams will bring to the local flavour.
