The six teams franchise-based tournament has been a great success in South Africa. The competition comprised teams owned by IPL franchise owners. DC owner owned Pretoria Capitals, SRH owners owned Sunrisers Eastern Cape, MI owners owned MI Cape Town, CSK owners owned Jo’burg Super Kings, LSG owner owned Durban Super Giants, and RR owners owned Paarl Royals in this league.

One between Pretoria Capitals or Sunrisers Eastern Cape will be taking the prize money of 70 million rand, i.e., INR 33.5 Crore tomorrow night. This prize money is the highest in South Africa’s T20 franchise history surpassing the prize money of Mzansi Super League.

Former SA captain and SA20 League commissioner Graeme Smith announced the SA20 prize money. “We have worked hard to offer a rewarding and unprecedented incentive in the first season of Betway SA 20. This is first for South African cricket, we have never had this type of competitive incentive in our domestic cricket and it is further indication of SA 20’s ambitions to positively impact South African cricket.” 

With the blemishing success SA20 has received in its inaugural edition, fans will be awaiting and surely excited for the next season.
