The 2019–20 CSA Provincial T20 Cup is a domestic Twenty cricket tournament that is currently taking place in South Africa in September 2019, as a curtain-raiser to the 2019–20 South African domestic season. It is being played between the thirteen South African provincial teams, along with Limpopo and Mpumalanga.[1] With only domestic teams from South Africa taking part, the tournament replaced the Africa T20 Cup.[2]
On the opening day of matches, Jonathan Vandiar scored an unbeaten century for Northerns against Gauteng in Pool A.[3] In Pool B, Lauren Agenbag became the first woman to umpire in a senior men's provincial match, when she was one of the on-field umpires in the match between Eastern Province and KwaZulu-Natal Inland.[3] In Pool C, the match between 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 KwaZulu-Natal and Easterns finished level on runs in Pool A, with Easterns winning the Super Over.[4] In Pool B, Jacques Snyman scored 117 runs from 58 balls, as Northern Cape beat South Western Districts by 82 runs.[4] Finally in Pool C, Lerato Kgoatle scored his second century in four innings, as Limpopo beat 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 overal, who finished second in Pool B, and above Limpopo in Pool C on net run rate.[5]
On 16 September 2019, Cricket South Africa confirmed the draw for the semi-final matches. Eastern Province played KwaZulu-Natal Inland in the first semi-final, and Easterns faced Border in the second match. All the knock-out fixtures, including the final, took place at Willowmoore Park in 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]
