JOHANNESBURG: Cricket South Africa (CSA) has announced the fixtures for the three revised franchise competitions for the 2020/21 season as well as the senior provincial fixtures for both men and women. As announced previously, the franchises will play a T20 competition in addition to the One-Day Cup and the CSA Four-Day Franchise Series following the decision to postpone the Mzansi Super League due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
"We are pleased that no matches have been reduced despite the late start to the season," said CSA Acting Chief Executive Kugandrie Govender in a statement.
The franchise season will start in the first week of November while provincial cricket for both men and women will start at the beginning of January.
Both the four-day series and the One-Day Cup will have the six competing teams divided into two pools of three teams each. They will play a double round of fixtures against teams in their own pool and a single round of cross-pool matches.
As a result, each franchise will play a minimum of seven matches and these will be followed by a five-day final at the conclusion of the four-day series contested by the two teams topping its respective pool. IANS
