History
SA20 launched in January 2023 and has become a summer highlight, and in Gqeberha — long known as Port Elizabeth — it is played at one of the most storied grounds in the game. St George's Park is South Africa's oldest international cricket ground, established in 1882, and staged the country's first Test in 1889; it is famous the world over for the brass band that plays through the day and the boisterous, good-natured atmosphere it helps create.
The home side, the Sunrisers Eastern Cape, are the league's early dynasty, having won the first two SA20 titles in 2023 and 2024. Gqeberha sits on Algoa Bay along the Sunshine Coast, a gateway to Addo Elephant National Park and a string of fine beaches. Stay near the beachfront at Summerstrand or in the city centre close to the ground, and book early for match days, as the Eastern Cape turns out in force for its team.
