Goodyear Park, Bloemfontein

Goodyear-Park Known before sponsorship as Springbok Park, the ground's international debut came with the country's return from sporting isolation in 1992, when South Africa downed India by eight wickets in the fifth match of the post-apartheid era.

The 20,000-capacity ground doubles as a rugby venue in winter, but unless spectator numbers pick up it could be in danger of seeing far less international action.

First class matches at the ground have of late been marked by high totals but one-day matches have tended to be tighter, with pace dominating.

The venue plays host to 3 matches in the prelimanary rounds:

Feb 10: Sri Lanka vs New Zealand
Feb 22: South Africa vs Bangladesh
Mar 03: Namibia vs Holland
