The 2021–22 CSA T20 Challenge was a Twenty20 cricket tournament that took place in South Africa during February 2022.[1] It replaced the planned 2022 edition of the Mzansi Super League, which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Imperial Lions were the defending champions.[3]

Following the conclusion of the group stage matches, Titans, Western Province, Dolphins and Rocks all progressed to the semi-finals of the tournament.[4] In the first semi-final, Titans beat Dolphins by six wickets to advance to the final.[5] They were joined in the final by Rocks, who beat Western Province by seven wickets in their semi-final match.[6] In the final, Rocks beat Titans by 15 runs to win the tournament.[7]

Background

The 2022 Mzansi Super League was scheduled to be the third edition of the Mzansi Super League (MSL) Twenty20 (T20) franchise cricket tournament in South Africa.[8][9] It was originally scheduled to be held in November 2020, but was postponed until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8] Two new teams were announced to be participating in the 2022 MSL season.[10] However, in October 2021, five of the six previous teams were replaced by some of the teams from 2021–22 CSA Provincial T20 Knock-Out, after Cricket South Africa restructured its domestic setup.[11]

In December 2021, Cricket South Africa confirmed that the 2022 MSL tournament had been cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns.[12]
