Venue: Kingsmead Cricket Ground
Kingsmead sits a short walk from Durban's beachfront. Local folklore says the tide affects swing bowling here, and the humid sea air certainly helps the ball move. It hosted a 2003 World Cup semi-final.
Conditions: Humid, coastal conditions that can help swing bowling, especially under cloud or lights.
Weather: Warm and humid, 23–26°C, with a higher chance of rain than inland venues.
