The SA20 follows an Indian Premier League (IPL)-like format, where each team faces the others twice in the league stage, with the top four teams qualifying for the playoffs. The top two teams in the points table face each other in Qualifier 1, where the winner directly qualifies for the final, while the losing side goes to Qualifier 2. The teams finishing third and fourth in the points table play the Eliminator, where the winning team qualifies for Qualifier 2, while the loser is eliminated. The two teams in Qualifier 2 then face each other, with the winning team joining the winner of Qualifier 1 in the final, while the losing side is eliminated.
