The 2020–21 CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge was a domestic one-day cricket tournament that was played in South Africa in February and March 2021.[1][2] Free State and Northern Cape were the defending champions, after the title was shared due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
The first matches were scheduled to start on 10 January 2021, however the start of the season was delayed until February due to the pandemic.[4] Initially the tournament was to be played between the fifteen South African provincial teams, split into two groups.[1] However, after the tournament restarted in February 2021, Cricket South Africa (CSA) confirmed that the South Africa under-19 cricket team would also be included in the competition.[5][6] CSA issued a revised schedule for the tournament, with all the matches being held in a bio-secure environment.[7] Matches involving either Limpopo, Mpumalanga or the South Africa under-19 team did not have List A status.[8]
