Ram Slam T20 Challenge Cricket Fixtures in Cape Town

The nation-wide T20 tournament pits the best teams against each other

The Ram Slam T20 Challenge gets underway on Saturday, 12 November 2016, with two matches taking place at Bidvest Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. In the opening game of the tournament, our very own Cape Cobras will face-off against the Knights, setting the tone for the much-loved T20 tourney. The second match starts at 6pm, and sees local favourites the Highveld Lions take on the Titans.

With five matches taking place in the Western Cape during the tournament (three at Newlands and two in Paarl), there will be plenty of hard-hitting cricket action for you to seek your teeth into.

Last year’s tournament was won by the Titans when they beat the Dolphins by an almighty 7 wickets at their home turf in Centurion. The Cape Cobras were knocked out of the tournament in the semi-finals when they lost by a microscopic 5 runs in a heart-breaking defeat against the Dolphins, so hopefully this year our local lads can put the loss behind them and open the tournament with a victory.

Still unsure of the difference between T20 and other formats of the game? In a nutshell, T20 (which is short for Twenty-20) means that each team plays 20 overs (which is short), and in order to score a high amount of runs in a limited time period the teams are forced to hit fours and sixes – making T20 much more exciting and action-packed than the longer format of the game. This differs to one day games where the teams play 50 overs each, so there is more time to score runs and hence less need to smash the ball as often as possible.
