Most probably Star Sports Select 1. They are going to replay IPL matches on SS1.

Bad move now will miss matches 0f CSA & Leagues . Star know to skip matches . Only to show Indian cricket highlights.

I am Totally sad & upset with SPN because watching the CSA matches on Sony SIX HD is looking like charm for last so many years (earlier TEN HD (2011-13) then TEN 1 HD) and now suddenly what happened Star Sports has the rights so now for the next year on hotstar will help me to watch CSA matches.
P.S. -> somehow my feelings said after this deal the main reason is CSA matches timing are perfect matching for Indian odience.

-> Test match timing - 1:30 PM to 9:00 PM

-> ODI Match Timing - 4:30 PM to 1:30 AM
(D/N) & 1:30 PM to 11:00 PM (Day matches)

- > T20I match timing : 9:30 PM to 1:00 AM (D/N) & 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM (Day Match)

From which series New Deal come into effect?

It might be most probably chances to
When Pakistan tour of South Africa in October 2020 (After Asia Cup 2020 & before ICC T20I Cricket World Cup )
In that series Pakistan play 3 ODI Match &
3 T20I matches played together.

As they have acquired the South Africa Cricket Broadcast Rights for the Asian Region, a request to please extend it to cover all domestic games including CSA T20 Challenge and Momentum One Day Cup as well as men's international and all women's games. In the previous deal with Sony, total blackout of all domestic matches was there. Now Star should stream all the ODI and T20 domestic matches on hotstar!!

Buddy if Sony was unable to cover all domestic games then expecting from star will lead to disappointment.

By the way i m happy that Sony is giving other sports more coverage rather than just cricket, they cannot hold too many rights bcoz it is difficult to telecast due to overlapping schedule and there r budget issues too. Look at Sony Sports Channels Schedule it is just awesome, these days watching Olympic Documentaries on it and absolutely loving it
