Introducing the YesPlay Pro20 Cup
There’s something special about watching cricket live. The sound of the ball off the bat, the energy in the stands, the tension of a close finish and those moments that have everyone on their feet.
Now, we’re bringing even more excitement to the domestic game.
We’re incredibly proud to announce that YesPlay is the title sponsor of the YesPlay Pro20 Cup, a refreshed 16-team T20 competition that brings the best of domestic cricket to venues across South Africa.
For us, this partnership is about much more than putting our name on a competition. It’s about helping create a tournament that feels exciting, accessible and genuinely fan-focused, while supporting the incredible depth of cricketing talent that exists across the country.
The YesPlay Pro20 Cup will see 16 teams competing across 71 matches, bringing high-quality T20 cricket to stadiums around the country.
And while the action on the field is always the main event, we wanted to give fans another reason to get involved.
Fans aged 18 and over attending YesPlay Pro20 Cup matches will stand a chance to share in a R2 million total prize pool through a new fan competition running across the tournament. The opportunity will run across all 71 matches of the tournament, including fixtures that are not televised.
That means the excitement isn’t limited to a handful of selected matches or major televised fixtures. Wherever the YesPlay Pro20 Cup is being played, fans aged 18 and over attending the match will have the opportunity to participate, subject to the competition terms and conditions.
Cricket South Africa Chief Executive Officer, Pholetsi Moseki, said:
“The launch of the YesPlay Pro20 Cup is an important step in the evolution of our domestic game, and having a partner such as YesPlay come on board for the journey adds another exciting dimension to the competition. This partnership is about creating experiences around the game, connecting with our fans and finding new ways to celebrate the talent and excitement that exists within our pathway. We look forward to seeing the YesPlay Pro20 Cup come to life.”
YesPlay Chief Executive Officer, Tebogo Makamo, said:
“We are delighted to be the title sponsor of the YesPlay Pro20 Cup and to be part of this exciting new chapter for domestic cricket in South Africa. The competition provides an important platform to showcase the depth of cricketing talent across our provinces, while giving fans the opportunity to experience high-quality T20 cricket in stadiums across the country. We’re proud to support Cricket South Africa in growing the game at a domestic level and look forward to bringing fans closer to the action throughout the tournament.”
So, get ready for big hits, big moments and plenty happening beyond the boundary.
