Wanderers, Kingsmead, Newlands confirmed as venues for 2027 ODI World Cup: Report – Firstpost

The 2027 ODI World Cup will be jointly hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia across October and November.
Eight of South Africa’s biggest cricket stadiums, including Wanderers in Johannesburg, Kingsmead in Durban and Newlands in Cape Town, have been confirmed as venues for the 2027 ODI World Cup, a local news outlet reported on Wednesday.
The 2027 Cricket World Cup will be jointly hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia across October and November.
Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) CEO Pholetsi Moseki said the venues have been decided after taking availability of hotel rooms and airport into consideration.
“The exercise (of choosing the venues) was a scientific one and also included the number of hotel rooms and the availability of an airport. If there was disappointment, it was also tempered by the reality that was based on the venues that were chosen,” Moseki was quoted as saying by News24 .
Moseki further stated that it was hard for them to leave out the three venues in Benoni, JB Marks Oval and Diamond Oval.
“We do indeed have 11 ICC-accredited venues, so it was hard to leave out three, but a whole lot of things were taken into consideration. There’s also the important matter of training venues outside of the ones available at the venue.”
Wanderers, Centurion Park in Pretoria, Kingsmead, St George’s Park in Gqeberha, Boland Park in Paarl and Newlands, the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein and Buffalo Park in East London are going to be the main venues. Other games in the tournament will be staged between co-hosts Zimbabwe and Namibia.
South Africa and Zimbabwe have directly qualified for the tournament as co-hosts, but Namibia will have to go through the qualifiers.
The top eight teams in the ICC ODI rankings gain direct qualification, while the remaining four spots will be determined through global qualifier tournaments.
The tournament will see two groups of seven teams each. The top three teams from each group will progress to the Super Six stage, leading to semi-finals and a final to determine the winners.
Teams will play each other once in the group stage, like in the 2003 World Cup.
