Background
About the ground
Opened in 1956 as the home of Wanderers cricket. The ground staged the famous tied ODI between South Africa and Australia in March 2006, a match widely discussed for its finish. Sachin Tendulkar scored his 50th Test century at SuperSport Park (Centurion), not here — that is a common misattribution. The stadium also hosted the 2003 Cricket World Cup final.
