South Africa will be buzzing with some T20 cricket action from the 2nd week of January as the 3rd season of SA20 goes on the floor. The first fixture of the league is scheduled to take place on 9th January between Sunrisers Eastern Cape and MI Cape Town at the St. George’s Oval.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape won the previous edition of the league and that marks their 2nd consecutive win. They have dominated the first two seasons of SA20 and the franchise will be expected to continue their domination in the 3rd season as well. Check out the betting tips for Sunrisers Eastern Cape for SA20 2025.
Durban Super Giants came out as the runners-up in the previous edition of the league whereas Pretoria Capitals were the runners-up in the first edition of the league. However, in both seasons, MI Cape Town has come out as the weak franchise and they have finished at the bottom of the point table on both occasions.
For SA20 2025, the player auction took place on 1st October 2024. It should be noted that English players have taken an active part in the auctions and we expect to see some of the best T20 players from England in the 3rd season.
In this article, we have collected the list of players from England who are expected to rise and shine in the league this year.
1) Moeen Ali - Joburg Super Kings
Moeen Ali will be part of the Joburg Super Kings this year again and it will be his 2nd appearance with the team. In the previous edition of the league, Moeen’s appearance was not as good as expected but since his retirement from international cricket, he will be able to focus completely on T20 cricket leagues and that might bring his old form back.
