The Betway SA20 has officially unveiled its Team of the Tournament following a thrilling Season 4 that delivered high-quality cricket, dramatic finishes, and several standout individual performances.

Unsurprisingly, Sunrisers Eastern Cape, the reigning champions, dominate the XI with four selections, reflecting their all-round consistency throughout the tournament. Pretoria Capitals, who finished runners-up, contribute three players, while Paarl Royals earn two spots after another competitive campaign. MI Cape Town and Durban’s Super Giants are represented by one player each. Notably, Joburg Super Kings miss out entirely.

Only two overseas players feature in the side: Sherfane Rutherford, whose explosive batting kept Pretoria Capitals alive in crucial moments, and Sikandar Raza, who became a fan favourite at Paarl with his match-winning all-round displays.

Markram leads star-studded XI as de Kock, Rickelton and Baartman headline standout performers

The team will be led by Aiden Markram, who found form late in the season for Durban’s Super Giants and played one of the standout innings of the tournament with a sublime century at Kingsmead.

Behind the stumps, Quinton de Kock enjoyed a renaissance season for Sunrisers Eastern Cape. The veteran opener topped the batting charts with 390 runs at a strike rate of 148, while also producing exceptional glovework. Ryan Rickelton once again underlined his consistency, crossing the century mark twice and extending his record as the leading run-scorer in SA20 history.

The bowling attack is spearheaded by Anrich Nortje, back at full pace after injury setbacks, and Ottneil Baartman, who finished as the leading wicket-taker with 20 scalps, including a memorable hat-trick and five-wicket haul. Spin duties fall to Keshav Maharaj and Sikandar Raza, both of whom delivered control and wickets in pressure situations.

The selection panel comprised a star-studded group of former internationals and broadcasters, including AB de Villiers, Kevin Pietersen, Eoin Morgan, Dale Steyn, and others.
