History
The Momentum One Day Cup has been running since the 1982/83 season albeit under various guises. Known simply as the One Day Cup without a sponsor but it has only had one season without a sponsor in 2011/12.
The tournament began as the Benson and Hedges series with and from 1994/95 season had 11 teams in the competition. In 1997/98 it became the Standard Bank League with the same amount of teams until Namibia were added in 2002/03.
The 2004/05 season saw a re-organised tournament with six franchise teams playing each other home and away. That format has remained to this day.
Only the 2007/08 season, which saw Zimbabwe join its ranks, had seven teams.
All six Momentum One Day Cup teams play each other twice in a home-and-away round-robin format.
The top four teams at the end of the round-robin stage compete in the semi finals to decide who plays the Momentum One Day Cup final.
The team that tops the table will host the fourth placed side in the first semi final while second will host third to decide the final.
The hosting ground will be decided by which of the two teams in the final finished highest in the round-robin stage.
