Paarl Royals captain David Miller believes that Tuesday's SA20 opener against MI Cape Town will be a humdinger at a sold-out Newlands.

"But there's a lot of steps that's got to take place beforehand, just sticking to the process, enjoying ourselves as much as we can. So just pretty excited about tomorrow and to hopefully take a take another trophy this season. "But there's no pressure to be honest with you. Having guys like that makes a huge difference and they're already contributed a big amount in the lead-up to tomorrow's game. "It's going to be a humdinger. "It (captaincy) grows on you and it builds a lot of character in one's game and I'm looking forward to the challenge.

WATCH: Five players to watch in SA20 opener (Independent Online)

The wunderkind of South African cricket, Dewald Brevis, has another major platform to showcase his immense talents.

Shamsi is also extremely knowledgeable of all the conditions in South Africa and he will be sure to use this to his advantage in the tournament opener. The Proteas magician will be looking to haul out his bag of tricks again in the SA20. The teenager is the future of South African cricket and the SA20 has been tailor made for players like him to develop further. Buttler has the ability to spearhead a title challenge almost single-handedly as he showed during the recent IPL where he took Rajasthan Royals to the brink of their first title since the inaugural competition back in 2008 last season. Fresh from winning the Player of the Tournament in helping England to their second T20 World Cup trophy last year, Curran became the most expensive auction buy in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) after being bought by Punjab Kings for £1.85m. Only 24-years-old but already a veteran of 353 T20 matches, Rashid is the quintessential modern-day globetrotting cricketer that packs his bag every other month to ply his trade for a new team in a different part of the world.

New T20 era as SA20 begins in South Africa (BBC News)

Mumbai Indians Cape Town and Paarl Royals meet in opener as cricket's latest franchise competition hopes for global appeal.

"We have seen the amazing things that these leagues have done to cricket in particular nations. Eight of England's 14-man squad will feature in the SA20 as will be the case with virtually all of the unnamed Proteas side, with the exception of captain Temba Bavuma who was not picked up by any of the franchises in "The benefit of South Africa is that the weather is always good, the time zones are great and the overseas players love to be here because it's cheap with their pounds and dollars," said Miller, who is confident SA20 has all the ingredients to become a sustainable part of the international T20 menu being offered up to fans - and players. [2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) title](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/61625647) in their maiden season, will be joined by the likes of England white ball skipper Jos Buttler and his predecessor Eoin Morgan, both World Cup winners in the 50-over and T20 formats of the game. "I think there's a lot of young players that have come through in the last few years and one of the very first up on my list: Dewald Brevis," explained de Villiers, who will be part of the commentary team. There will also be lots of interest in the performance of their compatriot Jofra Archer, who returns to action after a 10-month injury layoff.

Howzat? The ins and outs of the long-awaited inaugural SA20 ... (Daily Maverick)

South Africa's third attempt at starting a franchise T20 tournament has finally arrived in the form of the SA20.

The time-outs are to allow the teams to regroup tactically. In the case of no result, both teams will be awarded two points, while the losing team will not receive any points. There will be two strategic time-outs of two minutes and 30 seconds in each innings. All three ODIs will take place in the Free State and Northern Cape — two in Bloemfontein and one in Kimberley — as there is no SA20 team situated there. Each captain can nominate 13 players to take the field before the toss. “Our whole professional system is going to learn a lot about what needs to be done in order to improve the standards we have in the country.
