Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg

Known as 'the Bullring' for its steep, enclosed stands, the Wanderers is South Africa's largest cricket ground and will host the 2027 final, as it did in 2003. It is also where South Africa famously chased 435 against Australia in 2006, still one of the great one-day matches.

At around 1,750 metres above sea level, the ball flies further here than almost anywhere else in world cricket. Short boundaries in places and a quick outfield mean big totals are common.
