The stage is set for India’s high-profile series against hosts South Africa to commence at the iconic Kingsmead Cricket Ground in Durban on December 10.

The Proteas hold a torrid record at their home venue, considering they lost each of their three matches to Australia back in September this year to concede their home series 0-3. Team India, on the other hand, boast of a much better winning ratio at the same ground, having won four of their five T20I fixtures so far.

Ahead of the first South Africa vs. India T20I, here at OneCricket, we take a look at the overall ground stats for Durban’s Kingsmead Cricket Ground.
