This highly anticipated tournament will feature a thrilling mix of emerging talents, established stars, and veteran players, ensuring an exciting T20 competition for cricket fans worldwide.
The season will see six teams competing in 34 matches across six venues. Each team will play 10 matches in a double round-robin format, ensuring that every side has an equal chance to compete for a spot in the playoffs. Sunrisers Eastern Cape, the dominant franchise in the previous two editions, will look to defend their title and continue their impressive run by retaining the trophy.
In the player auction, Reeza Hendricks emerged as the most expensive acquisition, sold to MI Cape Town for an eye-watering Rand 4.3 million. Richard Gleeson was bought by Sunrisers Eastern Cape for Rand 2.3 million, reinforcing their already strong bowling attack.
Evin Lewis also generated significant attention, with Pretoria Capitals securing his services for Rand 1.5 million. These high-profile acquisitions highlight the level of talent attracted to the tournament.

Among the notable wildcard picks are Matheesha Pathirana (Joburg Super Kings), Dinesh Karthik (Paarl Royals), Corbin Bosch (MI Cape Town), Marcus Stoinis (Durban Super Giants), Liam Livingstone (Pretoria Capitals), and David Bedingham (Sunrisers Eastern Cape).
