The stadium has a seating capacity of 34,000, and was built in 1956 to replace the Old Wanderers Stadium. It was completely overhauled following South Africa\’s readmission to international cricket in 1991. In 1996, five new 65 metre high floodlight masts replaced the existing four 30 metre high masts enabling day-night limited-overs cricket. It is nicknamed The Bullring due to its design and intimidating atmosphere.

The match was played between South Africa and Australia in which a world record score of 434 was chased down by South Africa. In 2007 it then hosted matches of the first T20 Worldcup. It included the first match and the finals which was won by India beating Pakistan
