that the Pretoria Capitals will play against the team that finishes fourth on the log in the semi-final at the Wanderers on Wednesday, while Joburg Super Kings will make the short trip to Centurion on Thursday to play the side that finishes third. Both semi-finals start at 5.30pm.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape have already qualified for the semi-finals and neither them nor Paarl nor Durban were willing to swap their possible semi-final venues. No doubt they wanted to ensure Joburg and Pretoria did not receive a double advantage, not only playing on the Highveld but also in front of their home crowd.The decision to pre-allocate the knockout venues was made for logistical reasons and is the same format as the Indian Premier League employs.
As it is, staff have been working through the night at the Wanderers to ensure the ground is ready for their semi-final on Wednesday, and then they will have to get everything prepared again for the final on Saturday. Insiders say there have been some discussions around switching to a knockout format next season where the team that tops the log automatically goes through to the final, with the second and third-placed sides then playing off to join them.
That seems ideal for a six-team league, given that the fourth-placed side could get one lucky game and knock out runaway leaders at the top.in terms of television content, which is going to mean a decline in revenue.
