Smriti Mandhana's unbeaten 88 guides Super Giants to Hundred win

Three South Africans just bought into Rotterdam ahead of the European T20 Premier League's launch in August 2026. Faf du Plessis will captain the Dockers, Heinrich Klaasen brings the big hitting, and Jonty Rhodes is part-owner — with Steve Waugh and Glenn Maxwell also on board. Six cities host across five franchises; Dravid and Ashwin snapped up Dublin.

Du Plessis leads on the field while Klaasen strikes at 157 in this IPL, Rhodes sharpens their fielding, Waugh plots strategy, and Maxwell smashes — all to inject South African flair into Europe's game. The ETPL runs August 26 to September 20, mixing talent pools with fresh cash to push growth north.
