History

SA20, launched in January 2023, has quickly become one of world cricket's most attractive franchise leagues, and few of its grounds can match the setting of Boland Park in Paarl. Home to the Paarl Royals, the ground is ringed by the mountains of the Cape Winelands, and an evening here — vineyards on the horizon, a relaxed crowd and cricket under lights — is a genuine joy.

Paarl lies about an hour from Cape Town in the heart of South Africa's wine country, surrounded by some of the finest estates and restaurants in the land, which makes it an ideal base for a cricket-and-wine escape. Nearby Stellenbosch and Franschhoek add still more vineyards, historic Cape Dutch architecture and celebrated dining to the mix. Stay in Paarl or one of those neighbouring towns and book early, as the Winelands are busy and much sought-after in the high-summer season.
