The top two teams from each region proceed to the semis and the finals to be played on September 7.

Botswana Cricket Association (BCA) fixtures and publicity secretary, Sumod Damodar told Mmegi Sport that they decided to play this year’s tournament in the regions because of time constraints.

In the south, Tladi face Shining Stars in Lobatse as Ditlhasa confront Southern Rocks. The first ball in all games will be bowled at 9:30am.
