The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced details earlier today of a one-off invitational match set to take place at The Oval later this month. This marquee fixture will pit the English Twenty20 Cup winners, Surrey Lions, against South Africa's own 20/20 titleholders, the Diamond Eagles.
Organized in conjunction with Cricket South Africa (CSA), the ECB Invitational is the first of what is expected to become an annual series between the 20/20 champions of England and South Africa. The ECB is optimistic this match will help drum up interest in the Twenty20 Cup, serving as a prelude.
Sky Sports has been tapped to broadcast this match. It is scheduled to take place on June 30 at The Oval, just two days prior to the Twenty20 Cup.
