Fans and cricket lovers from around the world hold their breath as Cricket South Africa (CSA) is all set to unveil the third edition of SA20 starting on January 9. Sunrisers Eastern Cape and MI Cape Town are slated to take on each other in the opening game of the tournament at St George's Park. Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC) are currently the defending champions and will certainly be determined to defend their title at all costs once again.

The tournament will feature as many as six teams who will compete across 34 games in the space of approximately one month. The SA20 final is scheduled to take place on February 8 at the Wanderers while there will also be a provision of a Reserve Day in case the SA20 Final gets hampered due to rain. 

But just before the kick-off of the SA20 tournament, CSA will hold a Captain's Day presentation that aims to bring all the six captains together wherein they will have an interactive discussion about their team's goals and their vision as a whole ahead of the third SA20 edition.
