MUMBAI: Ten Sports, the most watched sports channel of the sub-continent, will help reveal the secret of South Africa’s success in the limited overs format of the game when it telecasts the MTN Domestic [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]Championship[/color][/color], the premier one-day tournament of the country.
The MTN Domestic Championship starts on Wednesday, 6 February with the inaugural match between Warriors and Eagles. The tournament lasts more than a month, with the [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]semi-finals[/color][/color] scheduled for 14 and 16 March, while the final will be a day-night affair on 19 March.
The seven teams taking part in 2007-08 are: Cape Cobras from Cape Town; Dolphins from Durban, KwaZulu-Natal Eagles from Bloemfontein; Lions from Potchefstroom; Gauteng Titans from Centurion; Gauteng Warriors from Port Elizabeth and Zimbabwe.
Among the MTN Domestic Championship matches being telecast live in February on Ten Sports are: Warriors v Eagles on 6 February; Cobras v Lions on February 13; Eagles v Dolphins on February 15; Eagles v Titans on February 17 and Titans v Dolphins on February 29.
All the matches start at 7:10 pm IST, except for February 17 where the match starts 1:25 pm IST.
They play each other twice home and away, between February and March. The top four teams progress to the semi-finals and the final stage.
There are five points on offer for each win, three points for ties, no results or abandoned matches and nil for losses. One bonus point is awarded if the run rate is higher than one run per over that of the opposition.
The talking point of this year’s MTN Championship is the participation of Zimbabwe – a step taken by the South African Cricket Board in accordance with the ICC request to all full member countries to assist Zimbabwe in the development of their cricket. Because of the close geographical proximity, South Africa feels a special responsibility in this regard, and hence the invitation to play in their domestic events.
Zimbabwe have been included in the 45-overs competition and the Standard Bank Pro20, to be played in March and April. They are expected to field their strongest team and will need to perform well against franchise teams in order to prove they are good enough for a step up at the international level.
