There’s something about late December in Durban that feels incomplete without cricket. As the holiday crowds roll into the city and the summer heat settles in, all roads tend to lead to Kingsmead Stadium, where sunscreen, cold drinks, and top-tier cricket combine into one of Durban’s favourite festive traditions.
Betway SA20 Action Arrives!
That tradition continues this summer as the Betway SA20 Season 4 gets underway on Boxing Day, 26 December, ushering in weeks of high-energy T20 action. While Durban’s Super Giants begin their campaign away against defending champions MI Cape Town, the spotlight quickly shifts home, with Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium hosting a string of must-see festive fixtures – starting on Sunday, 28 December!
This first Durban showdown sees the Super Giants welcome MI Cape Town to Hollywoodbets Kingsmead. Expect packed stands, ocean air, and the unmistakable rhythm of a Durban summer as fans settle in for an afternoon of world-class cricket. From there, Hollywoodbets Kingsmead plays host to a festive run of matches through late December and early January, including home fixtures against Joburg Super Kings, Pretoria Capitals, Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Paarl Royals.
Super Stars Join the Action
Season 4 brings serious star power to the league – as well as international names commentating. Expect to hear from AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Dale Steyn, Eoin Morgan, Kevin Pietersen, Robin Uthappa, Chris Morris, Vernon Philander, and Ashwell Prince.
Durban’s Super Giants have acquired Proteas T20 captain Aiden Markram, who could potentially form a devastating partnership with Heinrich Klaasen and New Zealander Devon Conway – all under the guidance of coaching legend, Lance Klusener. The line-up ensures a balanced mix of firepower, experience and local insight throughout the tournament. View the full squad here.
With its fast-paced format, family-friendly scheduling and playoff drama building into January, SA20 at Hollywoodbets Kingsmead is a festive season essential. Whether you’re a die-hard cricket supporter or simply looking for a great day out in the city, this is one Durban tradition worth keeping.
