Which team is Sam Curran playing for in SA20 2027?
Durban’s Super Giants have pre-signed Sam Curran for Season 5. He is the club’s listed new pre-signing, joining an announced squad that includes captain Aiden Markram, Jos Buttler, Heinrich Klaasen and Sunil Narine. Durban has already filled all 19 places. Curran’s move is therefore confirmed ahead of the 2026 auction; there is no pending bid or auction price to report for him.
This is a change of SA20 franchise, rather than a league debut. Curran represented MI Cape Town in the first two editions. His most recent completed SA20 playing season was 2024; the official player record has no 2025 or 2026 match figures. See the Durban’s Super Giants team page and the Season 5 squad tracker for his confirmed teammates.
What are Sam Curran’s SA20 batting and bowling figures?
The league’s completed-season figures give Curran 19 matches, 231 runs and 14 wickets for MI Cape Town. In 2023 he took eight wickets, with a best of 3/26, and scored 74 runs. In 2024 he added 157 runs and six wickets. These are his SA20 figures, separate from his England, IPL or other franchise records.
| Playing season | Team | Matches | Runs | Highest score | Wickets | Best bowling |

| 2023 | MI Cape Town | 9 | 74 | 22 | 8 | 3/26 |
| 2024 | MI Cape Town | 10 | 157 | 38 | 6 | 1/25 |
| Completed total | MI Cape Town | 19 | 231 | 38 | 14 | 3/26 |
Curran is valued for two skills: left-arm pace and lower-order left-handed batting. Those roles describe his playing style, not a promised batting position or number of overs for Durban. The official 2027 player page currently has a zero row because the season has not started; no Season 5 performance should be added yet.
