The 2016–17 Sunfoil 3-Day Cup was a first-class cricket competition that took place in South Africa from 6 October 2016 to 9 April 2017.[ 1] [ 2] The competition was played between the thirteen South African provincial teams and Namibia . Unlike its counterpart, the Sunfoil Series , the matches were three days in length instead of four. The tournament was played in parallel with the 2016–17 CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge , a List A competition which featured the same teams.
Northerns finished top of Pool A and Free State finished top of Pool B, with both teams progressing to the final of the competition. The final ended as a draw, with both teams sharing the title.[ 3]
