The 2020β21 CSA 3-Day Provincial Cup was a first-class cricket competition that took place in South Africa during February and March 2021. [1] [2] Easterns and KwaZulu-Natal were the defending champions, after the title was shared due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [3]
The first matches were scheduled to start on 7 January 2021, however the start of the season was delayed until February due to the pandemic. [4] Initially the tournament was to be played between the fifteen South African provincial teams, split into two groups. [1] However, after the tournament restarted in February 2021, Cricket South Africa (CSA) confirmed that the South Africa under-19 cricket team would also be included in the competition. [5] [6] CSA issued a revised schedule for the tournament, with all the matches being held in a bio-secure environment. [7] Matches involving either Limpopo, Mpumalanga or the South Africa under-19 team did not have first-class status. [8]
In March 2021, Border were dismissed for just sixteen runs in their second innings, equalling the lowest team total in first-class cricket in South Africa. [9] [10] In the South Africa under-19's first match, the team were bowled out for 41 runs in their first innings, before going on to lose the match by an innings and 83 runs. [11]
The teams were placed into the following groups:
