With the best on-air and non-live broadcast complementing the multi-lingual coverage, Your World of Champions is fuelling the flames of the Protea fire this Summer of Cricket.
08 November 2024 – As the summer rolls into full swing, so does the season of elite-level cricket. Your World of Champions, SuperSport, will be broadcasting every minute of the Summer of Cricket starting with the much anticipated T20 International Series between old foes, South Africa and India.
The first clash between the two juggernauts of world cricket on Friday 08 November at Durban’s Kingsmead Stadium will kickstart the home leg of our six-month-long Summer of Cricket, jam-packed with the best Proteas Men’s and Women’s cricket, including all three formats and the 2024 ICC Champions Trophy.
The added significance of this already historic fixture is the recent 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, where Gautum Gambhir’s men were the only hurdle Aiden Markram and Co could not clear, losing in the final thanks to an inspired display by Indian captain Virat Kohli.
As Africa’s biggest broadcaster and one of the biggest on the planet for live sport, broadcasting more than 50 000 hours of live sport per year, SuperSport will commit world-class coverage to the four-match series, making SuperSport the preferred viewing destination for all things cricket.
Reigniting the Protea fire and offering unparalleled coverage, SuperSport’s line-up of the most knowledgeable expert analysts will break down every granular detail of the titanic tussles in three official South African languages.
“SuperSport’s mandate has always been clear: to give viewers an incomparable viewing experience from toss to finish and everything before, in between and after the game. This is even more so for a meeting of this magnitude between to traditional cricket rivals,” said SuperSport CEO Rendani Ramovha.
“The Summer of Cricket in 2024 promises to be a scorching affair and Your World of Champions, SuperSport, intends to match the on-field action with unbeatable sports broadcasting.
“The festive season is always a huge sporting drawcard as families bond over many festivities, including sport. Cricket, in particular, is chief among the festive entertainment offerings for the whole family, no matter the format. We are looking forward to an exhilarating T20 international series, whose action-packed spectacle will surely keep fans glued to their screens.”
With a stellar Proteas line-up boasting the likes of Tristan Stubbs, Mihlali Mpongwana and Heinrich Klaasen alongside Nqaba Peter and Marco Jansen to look forward to on their DStv and DStv Stream screens, fans can enjoy the best cricket.
The likes of Mpumelelo “Pommie” Mbangwa, Shaun Pollock, Crystal Arnold, Ashwell Prince, Vernon Philander, Makhaya Ntini and Hashim Amla bring to Your World of Champions a wealth of experience honed over decades of covering or playing cricket at the highest level. They have now been joined by seasoned cricket commentator, presenter and analyst Natalie Germanos.

Headlined by Proteas legend Makhaya Ntini, Iqakamba on SuperSport Unplugged is a unique analysis cricket podcast in isiXhosa, available on YouTube as well as DStv CatchUp. Ntini will be joined by other isiXhosa commentators such as Mfuneko Ngam, Monde Zondeki, Mluleki Ntsabo and more to dissect the game in a language accessible to the Xhosa-speaking cricket-loving population.
As the home of the two premier T20 leagues in world cricket, there isn’t a better series encounter to serve as a precursor to the searing T20 cricket that looms large.
The 3rd season of the Betway SA20, now regarded as the 2nd best international franchise competition after the Indian Premier League (IPL), starts on 09 January 2025 and will see many of the stars on show in this T20 series that will reignite the Protea fire with fixtures at Gqeberha’s St George’s Oval (10 November), Centurion’s SuperSport Park (13 November) and the iconic Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg (15 November).
