2021–22 CSA One-Day Cup
Cricket tournament / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2021–22 CSA One-Day Cup was a List A cricket competition that took place in South Africa in March and April 2022.[1][2] It was the first edition of the tournament in the post-franchise era, and the first edition to return to a two-division league format.[3] Domestic cricketing reforms were introduced in 2020 that discontinued the six franchise team format and announced a return to the more traditional provincial based system. Fifteen teams, split over the two divisions, competed in the one-day tournament.[4]

In Division 1, five of the six teams who competed in the 2020–21 CSA Four-Day Franchise Series opted to retain their franchise brand, with only the former Cape Cobras reverting to their traditional Western Province name. They were joined in Division 1 by Boland and North West. Matches featuring either Limpopo or Mpumalanga, both in Division 2, did not have List A status.[5]
On 30 March 2022, in the Division One match between Titans and North West, Titans scored 453/3 from their 50 overs, setting a record for the highest total in a List A match in South Africa.[6][7]
Following the conclusion of the round-robin matches, Titans and Lions had reached the Division One final,[8] with KwaZulu-Natal Inland and Northern Cape reaching the Division Two final.[9] Lions won the Division One title,[10] beating Titans by three wickets, with Reeza Hendricks scoring 157 runs.[11] In the Division Two final, KwaZulu-Natal Inland beat Northern Cape by five wickets to win the match.[12]
