SA20 Season 4 is shaping up to be an incredibly exciting summer of cricket: Graeme Smith
The SA20 Commissioner, Graeme Smith, spoke about the latest development on the tournament’s website, talking about how Newlands in Cape Town managed to sell out all its five matches last season, which led to them getting the final for the upcoming season. He was quoted as saying, “Betway SA20 Season 4 is shaping up to be an incredibly exciting summer of cricket, kicking off on Boxing Day and running through the holiday period.”
“Last year Newlands sold out all five matches at the venue and with the Final taking place on a Sunday, it sets up an incredible afternoon with great weather, entertainment and a lively atmosphere to crown our Season 4 Champions,” he added.
Currently, the SA20 website has given the option to the fans to register for the exclusive pre-sales window for all the matches of the 2025-26 season of the tournament, including the playoffs and the final. The pre-sale registrations for the SA20 Season 4 is set to close at midnight on September 15, following which the tickets will go on sale to the general public for all the matches.
