The 2017 Africa T20 Cup was the third edition of the Africa T20 Cup, a Twenty20 cricket tournament. It was held in South Africa from 25 August to 25 September 2017, as a curtain-raiser to the 2017–18 South African domestic season.[1] Organised by Cricket South Africa, it featured thirteen South African provincial teams, as well as national representative sides of Kenya, Namibia and Zimbabwe.[2][3]
The sixteen participating teams were split into four pools of four, with the teams from each pool playing all of their matches at one ground across a single weekend.[2] Defending champions Eastern Province were drawn in Pool B.
Namibia won all three games in Group A, progressing to the semi-finals of the tournament for the first time.[4] Gauteng also progressed to the semi-finals for the first time, after winning Group B.[5] They topped the table with a bonus-point win in their final group match, knocking out defending champions Eastern Province in the process.[5] In Group C, Free State progressed, after beating Northern Cape by 62 runs in the final match of the group.[6] KwaZulu-Natal Inland progressed from Group D after beating Border by six wickets in their final group fixture.[7]
In the first semi-final, KwaZulu-Natal Inland beat Gauteng by 8 wickets to progress to the final.[8] They were joined in the final with Free State, who beat Namibia by 10 wickets. Andries Gous scored a century, the second-ever in the Africa T20 Cup.[9]
KwaZulu-Natal Inland won the tournament, beating Free State by 6 wickets in the final.[10]
