Jozi Stars were a city-based franchise team of the South African Mzansi Super League (MSL) Twenty20 cricket tournament. The team was based at the New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.

Jozi Stars played in the first two editions of the MSL in 2018 and 2019, before COVID-19 delayed the competition in 2020. The side won the inaugural edition of the competition but were dissolved in 2021 in response to the reform of the domestic structure of South African cricket. All six of the original city-based franchise teams in the Mzansi Super League were to have been replaced by eight new teams based around the new South African domestic structure, [1] but the league itself was later cancelled and replaced by a new franchise competition, the SA20, beginning in the 2022/23 season.[ citation needed ]
