8 Teams that should play the Champions League if it is hosted in 2020
Franchises from West Indies, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, South Africa, and England have been part of Champions League T20.
6. Paarl Rocks
Paarl Rocks led by South African skipper Faf du Plessis won the Mzansi Super League 2019 after finishing as the table toppers with 6 victories in 10 games. Opener Henry Davids stroked the fastest fifty of the season in the final and remained unbeaten for a 44 ball 77. Dwaine Pretorius returning from an injury made a quick-fire 43 of 21 balls.
Davids was the man of the match in the final and scored a total of 275 runs at an average of 30 with a strike rate of 135. South African leg-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi was the second-highest wicket-taker of the tournament taking 16 wickets, just one behind Imran Tahir.
No South Africa-based team has won the Champions league- Warriors and Highveld Lions have reached the finals in 2010 and 2012, respectively. Paarl Rocks have a good core of white-ball specialists like Isuru Udana, Bjorn Fortuin, Hardus Viljoen, Henry Davids and Tabraiz Shamsi which makes them a team to watch out for.
