The current champions are theImperial Lions, whilst theTitans have been the most successful with 6 title wins.
The tournament has been contested since its inception by the six franchise teams but for the 2007–08 season,Zimbabwe took part as a seventh side.[1] In April 2019,Cricket South Africa announced that the2018–19 tournament would be the final edition of the T20 Challenge, due to austerity measures and a restructure of domestic cricket in the country.[2][3][4] The competition was effectively replaced as a top cricket league with a franchise-based T20 tournament, theMzansi Super League, which had its first edition in 2018.
The tournament was however played during February 2021, with all the matches taking place at theKingsmead Cricket Ground inDurban. It replaced the 2020 edition of theMzansi Super League, which was cancelled due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.[5][6][7]
