How the cricket fan in South Africa returned to stadia
The New Indian Express Tadepalligudem
|February 08, 2025
WATCHING cricket in South Africa can be a unique experience. Not many countries can offer grass banks, brass bands, capacity crowds jiving to live music, kids getting to play ball in the outfield during breaks and beer always on tap at the same time.
The SA20 has nailed this experience. No wonder, then, that crowds have returned to cricket grounds up and down the country. In terms of its age, the SA20 is a baby when compared to some of the more established franchise systems like the IPL, PSL, BBL or the CPL. But Graeme Smith, the SA20's commissioner, couldn't be happier with how the first three seasons have gone (the final of the third edition will happen at the Wanderers on Saturday).
This story is from the February 08, 2025 edition of The New Indian Express Tadepalligudem.
