History of cricket in South Africa from 2000–01

Domestic cricket

In 2004–05 the SuperSport Series national championship was subject to a complete review designed to rebrand it and re-establish its popularity. Six new franchises were introduced with the aim of creating a stronger top-tier of sides underpinned by a second-tier tournament that was based around the old provincial teams, who play in a provincial championship that is currently (2007–08) called the South African Airways Provincial Three-Day Challenge.

The rebranded SuperSport Series teams are:

Cape Cobras in Cape Town and Paarl

Dolphins in Durban

Eagles in Bloemfontein

Lions in Johannesburg and Potchefstroom

Titans in Centurion, Gauteng and Benoni

Warriors in Port Elizabeth and East London
