Rated one of the 10 best grounds in the world by
Indian legend Kapil Dev, Supersport
Park is a 20,000-seater
that boasts a wonderful grandstand and superb open
grassed embankments.
It hosted its first
one-day international in December 1992 and its first
Test in November 1995, a match in which the great
Shaun Pollock made his debut for South
Africa against
England.
Supersport Park has always proved to be an excellent
one-day cricket ground, with a wicket that is conducive
to free scoring but usually has a little in it for
bowlers of all kinds. In Tests, the character is
different, providing a fair contest between bat and
ball.
The ground hosted five World Cup matches in 2003,
including two Super Six clashes.
