On 17 January 2018, JP Duminy set a new South African record for the most runs scored in a single over in a List A match, when he made 37 runs off the bowling of Eddie Leie.[5] During the last round of group stage fixtures, Reeza Hendricks became the first player to score a century in all three franchise competitions in South Africa in the same season. He previously scored a first-class century in October 2017 in the Sunfoil Series and a Twenty20 century in the Ram Slam Challenge in November 2017.[6]
Following the group stage, Titans and Warriors advanced to the first semi-final with Cape Cobras and Dolphins advancing to the second semi-final.[7] In the first semi-final, Warriors beat Titans, the defending champions, by eight wickets to progress to the final.[8] In the second semi-final, Dolphins beat Cape Cobras by 49 runs to advance.[9] In the final, the match was abandoned as no result, after heavy rain and lightning, with the match rescheduled to played again the following day.[10] No play was possible on the reserve day, so the title was shared between Dolphins and Warriors.[11][12]
