The inaugural edition of the Schools SA20 National Finals will be played from March 12 to 15 between eight boys’ teams and six girls’ teams. To qualify for the upcoming 2025 competition, as many as 370 boys’ school teams and 200 girls’ school teams across all provinces of South Africa participated in a national tournament.
A joint collaboration between Cricket South Africa (CSA) and SA20, the Schools SA20 competition was launched with the aim of discovering and nurturing emerging young talents among both boys and girls in the under-19 age groups of the country.
For the boys’ competition, the eight competing teams are divided into two groups of four each. The Pool A include Northwood School (KwaZulu-Natal), St Andrew’s School Bloemfontein (Central), Hoërskool Garsfontein (Gauteng North) and Graeme College (Focus School) while teams like Pearson High School (Eastern Cape), Bishops Diocesan College (Western Cape), St David’s Marist Inanda (Gauteng South) and CSA Hubs Invitational XI constitute Pool B.
The teams will be facing each other once in a round-robin format, and the top two teams from each group will make it to the semi-finals of the tournament. The final match will be played on March 15.
Similarly, the six competing teams from the girls’ Schools SA20 National Finals competition are divided into two groups of three each. The teams are Dr JL Dube High School (KwaZulu-Natal), Saints Christian School (Central) and Nkowankowa Hub (Gauteng North) from Pool A and Nomandi Junior Secondary School (Eastern Cape), Victoria Hub (Western Cape) and Steyn City School (Gauteng South) from Pool B.
In the girls’ competition, each team will also play a cross-pool match apart from playing two group games. With no semifinal in place, the table-topping of each group will advance into the finals.
Celebrating the future of South African cricket, let’s take a look at the schedule, squads, match timings and other details regarding the Schools SA20 National Finals 2025.
