The second season gets underway on Wednesday, January 10, as defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape lock horns with Joburg Super Kings in Gqeberha.

Fans are waiting for the second edition of the six-team league with bated breath. A lot of cash is involved in this league. A common question in the cricket world is that where does this league, held in the Rainbow Nation, rank among the other global leagues around the world in terms of monetary influx, especially the Indian Premier League (IPL).
