The YesPlay Pro20 Cup Super 8s have been confirmed and exciting matchups lie in wait, with eight teams vying for a place in the final four.
The eight teams each come into the new stage of the competition carrying the points from their round robin matches against the other three to have qualified from their pool, meaning they will only take on the other four from the opposite pool.
DP World Lions have had a near perfect campaign so far having finished top of Pool B and will be up first in the Super 8s with a clash against World Sports Betting Eastern Storm at the DP World Wanderers stadium on Wednesday evening.
Lions lost only once in the pools against North West Dragons, while their match against Dafabet Warriors was abandoned.
On the other hand, Eastern Storm qualified at the last minute with a crucial bonus point win over CSA High Performance on Sunday.
Garden Route Badgers are one of only two Division 2 sides still alive in the competition and will get their Super 8s campaign underway on Thursday afternoon when they host Momentum Multiply Titans in Oudtshoorn.
Titans impressed in Pool A with six wins from seven played to finish at the top with 28 points, while Badgers qualified after the Dragons’ clash against Northern Cape Heat was abandoned in Potchefstroom.
They will be in action again on Saturday against Easterns, in a match where each team will want to show muscle against a fellow Division 2 side.
On the same day the Dafabet St. George’s Park in Gqeberha will host Warriors against YesPlay Cobras to close out the month of October in the competition.
Both sides finished third in their respective pools with Warriors winning four of their seven matches and collecting 22 points in Pool B.
Cobras had a bit more success with six victories in Pool A, finishing on 26 points for their efforts.
There’ll be 12 more Super 8s matches on the roster between 1-11 November, with every remaining fixture offering an opportunity to strengthen the bid to the knockout stage.
