The 2021–22 CSA Provincial T20 Knock-Out was a Twenty20 cricket tournament that was played in South Africa in September and October 2021.[1] It was the first Twenty20 tournament to be played in the country since Cricket South Africa restructured its domestic setup,[2] and featured all fifteen provincial sides and the national under-19 team.[3]
From Pool A, South Western Districts and Western Province both advanced to the play-offs.[4] [5] In Group B, Knights and Titans finished first and second respectively to qualify.[6] [7] Group D saw Boland and Warriors reach the play-offs.[8] [9] The final group matches were played in Group C, with Dolphins and North West completing the line-up for the play-off stage.[10] [11]
On the first day of the quarter-finals, Titans beat South Western Districts by 54 runs,[12] and Knights beat Western Province by four runs.[13] In the first semi-final, Dolphins beat Titans by four wickets.[14] The second semi-final finished as no result due to rain, with Knights advancing to the final due to have a better run rate throughout the tournament.[15] In the final, Knights beat Dolphins by seven runs to win their first domestic title in ten years.[16]
