Facts and practical information

The De Beers Stadium in Kimberley, Northern Cape, South Africa was the home ground of the Griqualand West cricket team from 1927 to 1973. It staged a total of 88 first-class matches, in all of which Griqualand West was the home team. Their opponents were usually rival teams in the Currie Cup and the venue also hosted international touring teams including Marylebone Cricket Club, the Australians and the New Zealanders.
