The 2023-24 CSA One-Day Cup was a List A cricket competition that took place in South Africa in September and October 2023.[1][2][3][4][5] [6][7][8] It was the first edition of the tournament in the post-franchise era, and the first edition to return to a two-division league format.[9] Domestic cricketing reforms were introduced in 2020 that discontinued the six franchise team format and announced a return to the more traditional provincial based system. Fifteen teams, split over the two divisions, competed in the one-day tournament.[10]
In Division 1, five of the six teams who competed in the 2020–21 CSA Four-Day Franchise Series opted to retain their franchise brand, with only the former Cape Cobras reverting to their traditional Western Province name. They were joined in Division 1 by Boland and North West.
On 30 March 2022, in the Division One match between Titans and North West, Titans scored 453/3 from their 50 overs, setting a record for the highest total in a List A match in South Africa.[11][12]
