The 2020–21 CSA Women's Provincial Programme was the 26th edition of South Africa's provincial one-day cricket tournament. The tournament was initially scheduled to begin in January 2021, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the format was changed. The tournament began in February 2021 and ran until April 2021, with teams competing in four groups, each located in a different city under COVID-19 protocols. Due to this, there was no overall winner.[1][2][3]
Competition format[edit]
The 16 teams were divided into two tiers of two groups apiece. The top tier consisted of six teams, divided into Pool A and Pool B. Each team played each other team twice, therefore playing four matches overall. The second tier consisted of ten teams, divided into Pool C and Pool D. Each team played each other once, therefore playing four matches overall. Matches were played using a one day format, with 50 overs per side.
The winners of Pools C and D played-off for promotion to the top tier, whilst the bottom-placed teams in Pools A and B played-off, with the loser being relegated to the bottom tier.
The groups worked on a points system with positions being based on the total points. Points were awarded as follows:[2]
Win: 4 points
Tie: 3 points
Loss: 0 points.
Abandoned/No Result: 2 points.
