At Mzansibet, we aim to provide players with a safe, secure and enjoyable betting platform and make being a fan as entertaining as possible. Our team is passionate about setting the highest standards, and we strive to provide players with exceptional cricket betting markets across all major leagues and tournaments.

Did you know that in Mzansi, we have our exclusive T20 franchise league? The SA20 is South Africa’s exciting T20 league. First launched in 2023, the SA20 has emerged as a standout T20 league globally. Played in the best weather conditions in Mzansi in our beautiful summer months between January and February, the SA20 is a four-week extravaganza of big hits, runs, and entertainment.

Brief History of the SA20

  • The first edition of the tournament took place in 2023
  • The SA20 consists of six teams, all owned by IPL franchises
  • Durban Super Giants, Sunrisers Eastern Cape, Paarl Royals, Joburg Super Kings, MI Cape Town and Pretoria Capitals make up the teams in the SA20
  • Sunrisers Eastern Cape have won both editions of the SA20
  • MI Cape Town have finished last in both editions of the SA20
  • SA20 takes place across six of the best cities and cricket stadiums in South Africa
  • In 2025, the SA20 will be the third season of South Africa’s showpiece T20 league

The main reason why the SA20 has been successful in Mzansi is fan engagement. Fans are not only treated to amazing matches with the biggest T20 stars, but plenty of activities and initiatives bring fans to stadiums and place bets. One of the standout features of the SA20 is the one-handed catch campaign. Every fan who takes a one-handed catch at a live game wins a share of up to R2 million rand at the end of the tournament. How amazing and generous is that? Our cricket bettors are also taken care of thanks to SA20 betting. At Mzansibet, we have thousands of competitive betting markets and several promotions and bonuses tailored to our local T20 league, so you can always bet on SA20, both prematch and inplay.

Why bet on SA20

Watching the SA20 is enjoyable, exciting, and exhilarating and an activity loved by many, but another way to enhance that viewing experience is to bet on the tournament. At Mzansibet, you can bet on SA20 markets, both prematch and inplay, so you always have the chance to find the best odds for your suggested bets. Since it is our local league, we are sure every fan has a local team they follow. Whether you live in Jozi and are a Super Kings fan or live in the warm climate of Durban and are an avid Super Giants fan. If you place a wager on your local team to win the SA20, your enjoyment goes the extra mile; how cool is it if you win some money when your favourite team wins the SA20? We know that it is amazing, which is another reason why SA20 betting should be one of your main betting markets every January and February.

The SA20 also boasts an abundance of T20 cricketing stars from local shores and abroad. All the best Proteas players are involved in this amazing T20 league, including Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje and Heinrich Klaasen. Overseas players also flocked to Mzansi shores to compete in our tournament, and some of the biggest stars to grace our stadiums include Jos Buttler, Rashid Khan, Sam Curran, Kieron Pollard and the former Indian wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik.

The SA20 is a competitive T20 cricket league, and despite the Sunrisers Eastern Cape winning both seasons, most games throughout the tournaments are competitive. There are no dead rubbers like in other leagues and T20 competitions, and most games start at 50/50 outcomes. We all know that since IPL owners own the SA20 teams, IPL rivalries continue in South Africa. So when Joburg Super Kings battle MI Cape Town, that encounter is a must-watch for all fans from South Africa all the way to India. Other high-profile matches include the Highveld derby between Joburg Super Kings and Pretoria Capitals and the Western Cape derby between MI Cape Town and Paarl Royals. With so much at stake, from bragging rights to SA20 glory, make sure you place your SA20 bets at Mzansibet and take advantage of our competitive odds and fantastic promotions and bonuses.

Tips and Strategies for Betting on SA20

Betting on the SA20 should be enjoyable, and winning becomes easier when you study the games and conditions and find bets that offer value. Here are some tips, strategies and suggestions to help you become the best SA20 bettor.

  • Bankroll management is important if you want to be successful, so ensure you have a staking plan ahead of placing bets. A smart strategy would be using 10% of your bankroll of strong researched bets, 5% on value long shots, and 1-2% on accumulator cricket bets.
  • The SA20 is a long tournament that lasts four weeks, and you don’t need to bet on every game. Research the games and only bet if you find a favourable betting market.
  • Take an outright bet ahead of the tournament, allowing you to hedge for a profit later.
  • Study each team ahead of the tournament, and keep note of top performing players leading up to the SA20.
  • T20 cricket is a fast paced game, and match winner markets fluctuate. Don’t take short odds; you can find better odds inplay, so wait for the right time for better odds, and watch how the pitch plays before placing any inplay bets.
  • Research the weather, tournament trends and pitch conditions ahead of placing bets, as these play a big role in T20 games.
  • The toss is crucial in the rain-shortened games, and teams prefer to chase, so remember that detail and factor weather and toss outcomes in your suggested bets.
  • The saying ‘form is temporary, class is permanent’ is true, and you should use your gut instinct when deciding whether to place a bet on off form players and teams.
  • Historical stats play a role in matchups between batters and bowlers, so if you find a batter struggling against a specific bowler or vice versa, that is an avenue to target when betting.
  • Team sheets are important, so make sure the players you have placed a bet on are included in the starting 11. At Mzansibet, your stakes will be refunded if you have placed cricket bets on players who do not play.
  • If you place bets on Player Performance markets, the smart idea is to back wicketkeepers and allrounders, as they are involved in all facets of a T20 game.
  • If you are taking player specific bets such as Top Batsman and Top Bowler, you should note that if two or more players finish with the most wickets or runs, your odds are divided by two. So, you should not back low odds for these types of bets.
