# 2020–21 CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge

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. Free State and Northern Cape were the defending champions, after the title was shared due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
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. Initially the tournament was to be played between the fifteen South African provincial teams, split into two groups. 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. CSA issued a revised schedule for the tournament, with all the matches being held in a bio-secure environment. Matches involving either Limpopo, Mpumalanga or the South Africa under-19 team did not have List A status.

## Teams

The teams were placed into the following groups:
* Pool A: Boland, Border, KwaZulu-Natal, South Western Districts
* Pool B: Easterns, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal Inland, Limpopo
* Pool C: Northerns, Northern Cape, South Africa Under-19s, Western Province
