SAT20 League LIVE Broadcast: Earlier this week The SA20 has breached the hurdle at which the Global League T20 and the Mzansi Super League fell. They secured a ten-year deal with Viacom18 for an undisclosed amount to broadcast the tournament in India.
The deal is understood to be lower than the SA20’s asking price of US$ 100 million for a ten-year period. But overall an insider described it as “game-changing” for South African cricket and said it would ensure that SA20 returned a profit in the first year itself.
The first ball will be bowled on January 10th 2023, with the six teams contesting 33 matches live across six premier venues. The SA20 will see international superstars like Quinton de Kock, Faf Du Plessis, Kagiso Rabada, David Miller, Anrich Nortje, Rashid Khan, Jos Buttler,
Eoin Morgan, Adil Rashid, Jason Roy, Liam Livingstone, Maheesh Theekshana, Jason Holder in action.
The six teams – Joburg Super Kings, Pretoria Capitals, Durban’s Super Giants, Sunrisers Eastern Cape, Paarl Royals and MI Cape Town, are owned by groups that have teams across various global leagues including the Indian Premier League.
The inaugural SA20 auction in September saw over 100 players signed by the six teams. Teams could sign up a maximum of ten South Africans and seven overseas cricketers in their squad. For every match, each team will be allowed to have up to four overseas players in the XI. All teams have also opted to sign up one uncapped, young player.
Viacom18 recently announced that JioCinema will live-stream all the matches and offer curated content around the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™. The world’s greatest show, the football World Cup which happens once in four years, will be exclusively presented on JioCinema and Sports18 platforms from 20th November through 18th December.
The addition of the SA20 strengthens Viacom18’s portfolio of world-class sporting events, including the Indian Premier League, FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 ™, NBA, Diamond League, LaLiga, Serie A, Ligue 1, and top ATP and BWF events.
