The SA20 playoff format mirrors that of the IPL, with the top two teams on the points table battling for direct entry into the final. Meanwhile, the third and fourth-placed teams will square off in an eliminator, with the winner progressing to the title decider. Sunrisers Eastern Cape, the defending champions, will look to retain their crown, but they face stiff competition from the five other teams in the competition. As the SA20 enters its third season, fans can expect another thrilling ride of high-octane T20 cricket, with plenty of excitement and drama in store.

The start times for the SA20 2025 matches will vary depending on the day’s schedule. On days when there is a single match, the game will kick off at either 7:00 PM or 9:00 PM IST. However, when the tournament features doubleheaders, the timings will be adjusted accordingly. In such cases, the first match will begin at 4:30 PM IST, while the second match will start at 9:00 PM IST.

This flexible timing structure ensures that fans across the globe can catch the action at convenient hours, whether it’s an early start for those watching from the subcontinent or a later evening slot for others. The SA20, known for its fast-paced, exciting T20 cricket, aims to keep its viewers engaged with a variety of match timings, making it easier for fans to follow the tournament, regardless of where they are located.
