The one-day event, which was launched two seasons ago, will go into hiatus this year after Stadium Management South Africa confirmed that it had decided to postpone the tournament until further notice.

The inaugural event was won by Sundowns who narrowly saw off Chiefs 2-1 in 2018, but failed to defend their trophy last year after being thumped 4-2 by a ruthless Amakhosi outfit, courtesy of a first-half hat-trick from Leonardo Castro and a solitary strike from Khama Billiat.

In both tournaments, Chiefs players walked away with the man-of-the-match award. Billiat claimed the accolade in 2018, before Castro won it in 2019.
