T20 cricket largely became popular because we can see a large number of sixes in a match, and this results in large sections of fans getting thoroughly entertained. Teams with more batters who can make the ball go across the ropes have a high chance of winning games more often than not and, at the same time, gaining a huge following among the masses.
SA20, a relatively new entrant to the world of T20 leagues in its brief stint thus far, has shown it has all the ingredients to grow into a successful T20 tourney. This is largely thanks to a resounding number of big hitters from all six participating teams.
Here we will see the team-wise breakdown of sixes in the SA20 competition.
Most Sixes by Teams in SA20

|---|---|---|---|
| MI Cape Town (MICT) | 42 | 357 | 8.5 |
