Wanderers Stadium

Wanderers Stadium, Cricket stadium in Illovo, South Africa

Wanderers Stadium is a cricket venue in Illovo, a suburb of Johannesburg in South Africa, covering a large site. Five tall floodlight towers rise above the complex and illuminate the playing field after dark.

The ground opened in 1956 for its first matches and served as a venue for regional games for decades. After the country's return to international cricket in 1991, the entire complex underwent a complete rebuild and modernization.

The ground is nicknamed "The Bullring" for its enclosed design and the pressure it puts on visiting batsmen. It is the home ground of the Imperial Lions and the Joburg Super Kings. In July 2018 it hosted former US president Barack Obama, who delivered the Nelson Mandela Lecture in the stadium.

The ground sits in Illovo, just south of Sandton, with the seating curving around the oval field and a low perimeter wall separating stands from grass. Five 65-metre floodlight masts, installed in 1996, stand above the roofline for day-night limited-overs matches. Seating capacity is 34,000.

On 12 March 2006, South Africa chased down Australia's 434 to win a One-day International, then a world record for a successful run chase. Herschelle Gibbs made 175 and Mark Boucher sealed the win with a boundary off the final ball.
