The 2020 Afghanistan Provincial Challenge Cup was a Limited-overs competition that took place in Afghanistan between 13 and 22 August 2020.[1] It was the fourth year of domestic List A cricket to be played in Afghanistan, following the announcements by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in February and May 2017.[2][3] However, despite the 2019 edition of the Provincial Challenge Cup having List A status, the same was not applied to the 2020 edition. Eight teams qualified for the tournament, and were divided into two groups of four.[4]
Khost Province won the tournament, after beating defending champions Nangarhar Province by five wickets in the final, with Shahidullah scoring a century.[5]
