Cricket fans in Pretoria and the greater Tshwane community are in for a spectacular treat as international cricket returns to SuperSport Park, with South Africa set to face the West Indies in the second KFC T20 International at the iconic Centurion stadium.

This highly anticipated clash comes at a special time for SuperSport Park, which proudly celebrates 40 years of hosting world-class cricket in 2026. For four decades, the stadium has been the heartbeat of cricket in Centurion, delivering unforgettable moments, legendary performances and a family-friendly atmosphere that makes it one of South Africa’s most loved sporting venues.

The last time SuperSport Park hosted the West Indies was in March 2023, during two back-to-back KFC T20 Internationals that produced thrilling cricket. The opening encounter on 25 March saw the visitors clinch a narrow three-wicket victory, setting the stage for a memorable response from the Proteas. In the second match, a breathtaking century from Quinton de Kock (100 off just 44 balls) powered South Africa to a commanding six-wicket win, leaving fans buzzing and reaffirming Centurion as a venue for big-match drama.

Ideal Experience for Families

Known for its iconic grass embankments and welcoming environment, SuperSport Park offers an ideal matchday experience for families, friends and passionate cricket supporters alike. Whether enjoying the action from the stands or soaking up the atmosphere on the embankments, fans can expect a festive, electric setting as international cricket lights up Centurion once again.

This fixture takes place just five days after the conclusion of SA20, giving supporters the perfect opportunity to carry that domestic cricket momentum straight into the inbound West Indies tour. With excitement already high after the SA20 season, the KFC T20 International promises to raise the energy even further.

Importantly, this match also forms a crucial part of South Africa’s build-up to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in February, making it a key moment for the Proteas as they fine-tune combinations and sharpen their form against quality opposition.

SuperSport Park is looking forward to welcoming the Centurion community and cricket lovers from across Gauteng for what promises to be an unforgettable evening of international cricket. Adding to the excitement on the day, fans will also be treated to a live performance by rapper, producer and storyteller Yanga Chief, one of South Africa’s most celebrated hip-hop artists.

The match gets underway at 6:00 PM, with gates opening from 3:00 PM, giving fans plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the build-up. Tickets are available via Ticketpro.co.za, and fans are encouraged to secure their seats early.
