A total of 33 games will take place in the SA20 2023 tournament. During the league stage, every team will face each other twice. At the end of the league stage, the top 4 teams in the points table will qualify for the semi-finals.


All the matches of SA20 2023 will take place across different venues in South Africa. Newlands in Cape Town, Kingsmead in Durban, St George’s Park in Gqeberha, Boland Park in Paarl, SuperSport Park in Centurion, and The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg are the different venues that will host the games.


Afghanistan T20 skipper Rashid Khan, who will be leading MI Cape Town in the SA20, said that there will be no added pressure on him as the leg-spinner already has captaincy experience. SA20, South Africa’s new T20 cricket league, begins on January 10 in Newlands.



Rashid will be leading MI Cape Town in the inaugural SA20 and his team will be first out of the starting blocks against the Paarl Royals in the tournament opener on Tuesday. “I have already led the Afghanistan side in some games, so the experience of captaincy is there. Also, being vice-captain, I have always been working closely with the leadership group and sharing my inputs on and off the pitch. So, I don`t think there will be any added pressure on me,” the Afghan spinner said.
