Talented voice behind Betway SA20 Anthem Booshle G. to headline halftime show at
Final
Friday, 6 December 2024: Get ready for a week of incredible cricket, entertainment,
and an electrifying atmosphere as tickets for the Betway SA20 Playoffs and Final go
on sale today! From Tuesday, 4 February 2025, to Saturday, 8 February 2025, fans
will be treated to the biggest cricketing spectacle of the summer watching the final
four teams battle it out for the opportunity to be crowned Season 3 Champions.
Following two sold out seasons, the Betway SA20 Final, hosted at the iconic Bullring
in Johannesburg, promises more than just high-stakes cricket. Fans will have prime
seats to a special halftime performance by Booshle G., the sensational artist behind
this season’s campaign anthem, Take Me Home. Known for his soulful pop and
infectious energy, Booshle G. will light up the stage with a live performance that
promises feel-good vibes and moves to keep the crowd own their feet.
“I come from a community where every dream feels like a long shot,” said Booshle
G, whose name is Buhle Gayika. “But cricket, just like music, has always been a way
for me to connect with people and share my story. I’ve always believed that if you put
your heart into something, the world will listen—and that’s what I did with this song.”
Hailing from Kariega (formerly Uitenhage) in the Eastern Cape, Booshle G’s journey
to success has been one of passion and perseverance. He discovered his love for
music while involved in his local church choir, where he honed his craft and
developed the sound that now resonates with audiences across South Africa. His
music, shaped by his experiences growing up in a small town, speaks to the power
of dreams, determination, and connection.
“The choir was where I truly found my voice,” he reflects. “It was there I learned how
to connect with people through music. Growing up in a small town, I didn’t have the
same opportunities as others, but I always knew that music was the key to
something bigger.”
The road to the Final starts with Qualifier 1 on 4 February at St George’s Park in
Gqeberha, where the top two teams face off for a direct spot in the Final. Next up is
the Eliminator on 5 February at Centurion, where teams placed third and fourth
compete to stay in the competition. On 6 February at the same venue, the last shot
at glory for the Final takes place between the loser of Qualifier 1 and the winner of
the Eliminator.
There will be more on offer at the Playoffs this season. Fans can look forward to an
array of family-friendly activities, including the return of on-field cricket for kids before
the match starts—so don’t forget your bats and balls—along with glitter makeup
artists, mirror men, inflatable butterflies and stilt walkers to keep the fun alive. Instant
cash prizes during the innings break add to the excitement, while the chance to
experience hospitality upgrades ensures a VIP feel for lucky attendees. Playoff
tickets across the two venues range from R105 to R350 with a 20% discount for
scholars and pensioners.
New to Season 3 of the Betway SA20 Playoffs is the Nightwatchman’s Pass, a ticket
that provides families with the ultimate day/night weekday cricket experience. The
Nightwatchman’s Pass gives you access to a kid-friendly and alcohol-free zone,

On Saturday, 8 February, all roads lead to Wanderers Stadium, where the two best
teams will contest the coveted Betway SA20 trophy in a day filled with world-class
cricket and vibrant entertainment.
In addition to the half time performance, those seeking a lively atmosphere will want
