There was a planned break in the competition between October and February for the first season of the T20 Global League (TGL).[3][4] However, the TGL was postponed to November 2018,[5] with South Africa's domestic T20 competition moved back from March 2018 to November 2017 to replace it.[6]
After the first four rounds of fixtures, all twelve matches had ended in draws.[7] The first win of the tournament came in the fifth round, when Titans beat Lions by nine wickets.[8] By the end of the mid-season break in October 2017, fourteen of the fifteen matches had ended as a draw.[9] Ahead of the final round of fixtures, five of the six teams were still in contention of winning the title.[10]
Titans won the series, after they beat Knights by four wickets in the final round of matches.[11][12]
In the Knights first innings, Keegan Petersen, Theunis de Bruyn, Rudi Second and Werner Coetsee all scored centuries. This was the first time in franchise cricket in South Africa that four players from one team had made a century in the same innings.[14]
Aviwe Mgijima (Cape Cobras) scored his maiden first-class century.[15]
