Tomorrow at the Newlands in Cape Town, MI Cape Town will take on the Paarl Royals in the inaugural tournament of Cricket South Africa’s new franchise-based T20 league, the SA20. The MI Cape Town, led by leg-spinner Rashid Khan, certainly appear to be the tournament favorites. In addition to Rashid’s versatility, the team also includes notable T20 players like Sam Curran, Kagiso Rabada, Jofra Archer, Liam Livingstone, and Dewald Brevis.
On the other hand, Jason Roy, Jos Buttler, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi, and others make up the Paarl Royals, which are coached by David Miller. Similar to the majority of T20 leagues around the world, the SA20 will only allow teams to field a maximum of four international players in a match.
