Betway SA20 – Final Words

The new Betway SA20 league is designed to rival global franchise leagues, mainly the Indian IPL. When looking at the owners of the 6 teams many also own a team in the IPL. For example JSW Groups owns the Pretoria Capitals but also the Delhi Capitals. Perhaps we can therefore call the new Betway SA20 a mini IPL.

Betway is one of the best sports betting sites in South Africa. Of course cricket is part of the portfolio and with Betway becoming the sponsor of this new T20 series there surely will be great betting options.
