The South African T20 League (SAT20 League) is constantly making headlines. Actually, the South African T20 League will start from the 10th of January. There are a total of 6 teams in the first season of this tournament. The funny thing is that all 6 teams in the South African T20 League have been bought by the owners of the IPL teams. A total of 33 matches will be played in the first season of the South African T20 League, while the final match will be played on February 11. Apart from this, many rules of this league will be very funny and such, which probably have not been seen before on the cricket field.
In the South African T20 league, the captain can select his team after the draw. Actually, so far this rule does not exist in any T20 league. All captains have to tell the XI they are playing at the time of the draw. However, at the time of the draw, the captain must nominate the names of the 13 players from him. After the draw, the captain will be able to make a playing XI of 11 players according to his wish, while the remaining 2 players will be as additional players.
Other than this, Throwing runs will not be available in South African T20 league matches. At the same time, in the matches of this league the rules of bonus points will be applied. Speaking of the rest of the rules, if the batter is downed on a free throw, then he can’t run. However, according to ICC rules, a batsman may run for one run after being put out on a free throw. The power play in the South African T20 league will be divided into two parts. For the first time there will be a 4 overs powerplay, then there will be 2 overs of powerplay. Significantly, this league will start from January 10th. In the first match, the Paarl Royals team will face MI Cape Town.
