As anticipation builds for Season 3 of Betway SA20, the league has announced a landmark partnership with global logistics and supply chain giant, DP World. The agreement positions DP World as the official Global Logistics Partner of South Africa’s premier T20 cricket competition, which kicks off on 9 January 2025.

Innovation Meets Cricket Excellence
This collaboration underscores a shared commitment to innovation and efficiency. DP World’s advanced logistics solutions will ensure the smooth operation of the tournament, setting a new standard for professionalism in the sporting world.

“Partnering with DP World marks a significant milestone for Betway SA20,” said League Commissioner Graeme Smith. “Their expertise will add immense value to our operations, elevating the overall competition experience for players and fans alike. Together, we aim to push the boundaries of what is possible in cricket.”

A Proven Partner in Sport
DP World’s influence extends far beyond logistics. The company boasts an impressive sports partnership portfolio, including collaborations with the McLaren Formula One team, the DP World Tour, and the Ryder Cup. They are also the Title Partner of Johannesburg's DP World Wanderers Stadium, which will host the SA20 Final on 8 February 2025.

“This partnership reflects our shared vision of innovation, excellence, and community impact,” said Mohammed Akoojee, CEO & MD for sub-Saharan Africa at DP World. “By connecting communities through cricket, we are demonstrating how logistics can go beyond business to create meaningful change.”

Empowering Communities Through Cricket
DP World’s Beyond Boundaries Initiative has already made waves in grassroots cricket development. The program repurposes shipping containers into cricket hubs, providing essential equipment to underserved clubs worldwide. In its inaugural year, the initiative distributed 10 containers and 2,500 kits globally.

With Betway SA20’s community outreach programs aligning with DP World’s mission, the partnership promises to leave a lasting impact both on and off the field.

Season 3: Cricket Meets Festivity
Season 3 begins on 9 January at St George’s Park, where defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape will take on MI Cape Town. The tournament will showcase a month of exhilarating cricket featuring top local and international talent.
