The Group Stage of the tournament will commence with a double-header at Centurion on October 13.

The game between Titans and Perth Scorchers will be played first followed by the clash between Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils, who finished third in the IPL.

The final of the Champions League Twenty20 will be played on October 28 at the Wanderers, Johannesburg, an arena that has hosted the final of the World Cup 2003, the inaugural ICC World Twenty20, 2007 and the unforgettable '438' ODI between South Africa and Australia in 2006.

The fourth edition of the Champions League Twenty20 will feature a total of 14 teams and 29 matches across four venues -- Centurion, Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town.

The Group Stage will be preceded by a Qualifying Stage from October 9 to October 11 featuring six teams. These teams have been equally divided into two pools with each team playing the other two in its pool once.

The top team in each pool, in terms of points, will then qualify for the Group Stage. If teams from the same pool are equal on points, the qualifier will be decided by net run rate. MORE
