SA20 2024: The SA20, South Africa's prominent T20 tournament is set to begin its second edition which commences on Wednesday, January 10 with the first match to be played between Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Joburg Super Kings.
South African players have prioritised their home league rather than going to play for the national team considering the importance of the shortest format eyeing the T20 World Cup later this year.
The tournament will be key for both the South African and international players to get the T20 exposure for the T20 WC which takes place in June.

The inaugural season of the T20 league achieved a major success with the Aiden Markram-led Sunrisers Eastern Cape lifting the title.
Like last season, six teams —Sunrisers Eastern Cape, Joburg Super Kings, MI Cape Town, Pretoria Capitals, Durban Super Giants, and Paarl Royals will compete for the trophy this season with the final scheduled for 10 February.
When it comes to the knockout stage, the last season followed a semi-finals followed by a final format whereas this season will introduce an IPL-style knockout stage.
The first and the second-placed teams will face each other in Qualifier 1, while the third and fourth-placed teams lock horns in the Eliminator. The winner of Qualifier 1 directly qualifies for the final, while the loser of that game takes on the winner of Eliminator in Qualifier 2. The winners of Qualifier 2 will then advance to the final.
Take a look at the full team squads, fixtures, venues, and live-streaming details.
