HOLLYWOODBETS Kingsmead Stadium will play a significant role in the upcoming Australian men’s tour of South Africa.

Kingsmead will host one of three One Day Internationals (ODI) between the Proteas and Australia in September and the hallowed venue will also host one of three Test matches in October.

Durban has been the venue of a number of exciting white ball matches between SA and Australia. The venue is best known for South Africa’s unforgettable chase of 372 to beat Australia in 2016.

CEO of KZN Cricket Heinrich Strydom believes that it doesn’t get bigger than taking on Australia in a Test match.

“This is a match that you mark in your calendar months in advance and we cannot wait to welcome the two ICC World Test Championship finalists to Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium,” Strydom said. “The Proteas against Australia is always full of drama and intrigue, and we know that they come to our shores wanting to prove a point which sets things up beautifully for an exciting tour.”

Strydom encourages the people of KZN to make sure they get down to Kingsmead Stadium to support the Proteas against their biggest rivals.

“The people of Durban have been starved of Test cricket, and we need to make sure that we embrace the game’s purest form. To also have an ODI series between these two sides as well is a privilege, and with an ICC Men’s 50-Over World Cup here next year, it will be a great dress rehearsal for that event.”

Tickets for the ODI and the Test match are on sale and can be purchased through www.ticketpros.co.za.
