The 2019–20 CSA Provincial T20 Cup was a domestic
Twenty cricket tournament that took place in South Africa in September 2019, as a curtain-raiser to the 2019–20 South African domestic season. It was played between the thirteen South African provincial teams, along with Limpopo and Mpumalanga.[1] This was the sixth edition of the CSA Provincial T20 Cup, which was last played in the 2015–16 season. With only domestic teams from South Africa taking part, the tournament returned in place of the Africa T20 Cup, which had been held since 2015.[2]
On the opening day of matches,
Western Province cricket team and North West finished in a tie, with North West winning the Super Over.[3]
Day two of the tournament saw the second tied match in as many days, as
Western Province by 10 wickets.[4]
The third and final day of round-robin matches saw KwaZulu-Natal tie their second match in as many days in Pool A, eventually winning the Super Over against Free State.[5] Easterns, Eastern Province and Border all won their respective groups to progress to the finals of the tournament.[5] They were joined by KwaZulu-Natal Inland, the next best team overall, who finished second in Pool B, and above Limpopo in Pool C on net run rate.[5]
On 16 September 2019,
Benoni.[6] KwaZulu-Natal Inland won their semi-final by 21 runs, with Easterns winning their match by nine wickets, with both teams advancing to the final.[7] Easterns won the tournament, beating KwaZulu-Natal Inland by five runs in the final.[8] Grant Thomson, the captain of the Easterns team, said that "it was an excellent game, an excellent final and great end to the competition".[9]
