As per SA20 organisers, these additions have been included to “improve the quality of the product” while “preserving the sanctity” of the game.

Each captain may choose 13 men to take the field before the toss in a novel move to level the playing field. Following the toss, each skipper can choose their final starting XI, with the remaining players becoming substitutes.

New Point System

Teams will be rewarded for putting on strong performances with four points for a win and an additional point for a bonus victory.
The team that achieves a run rate that is 1.25 times higher than the opposition will receive the additional point.
In the event of a tie, each side will earn two points, with the losing team receiving none.

We have confirmed exciting additions to our playing format for the inaugural season starting TOMORROW. The additions have been included to improve the quality of the product while preserving the sanctity of the game.

The following guidelines have also been modified

Without the use of suspensions, fielding limits will be used to penalise captains during games for slow over-rates.
The free-hit rule has been modified so that if the ball ricochets off the stumps during a bowled dismissal, no byes can result.
Fielding that is aggressive and positive will be favoured. If a direct hit deflects off the stumps, no runs may be added to an intentional effort to run out the hitter.
In each inning, there will be two 2-minute 30-second long strategic timeouts. The sides can regroup tactically during the timeouts.

There will be six powerplay overs, with just two fielders permitted outside the 30-yard circle.

Some of the most well-known T20 franchises in the world support SA20, with some IPL powerhouses expanding to have an even bigger international impact.

Six privately owned clubs will compete in the SA20 League, and before to the semifinals and championship game, they will face off against one another twice (at home and away). 33 games will be played in total at some of the best venues South Africa has to offer: Durban’s Super Giants (Kingsmead), Joburg Super Kings (Wanderers), MI Cape Town (Newlands), Paarl Royals (Boland Park), Pretoria Capitals (SuperSport Park) and Sunrisers Eastern Cape (St George’s Park).
