Durban T20 records: Kingsmead Durban Cricket Stadium records and highest innings totals

The SA20 League is underway in South Africa, and Durban’s Kingsmead Stadium is set to host its first match of the tournament between Durban Super Giants and Joburg Super Kings later tonight.

Durban’s Kingsmead is a very special venue for Indian fans as Yuvraj Singh smashed Stuart Broad for six sixes in an over at this very ground only. The score that India scored on that day is the highest T20 score at this very venue.

This stadium is ideally made for the pacers, and the batters have also enjoyed it here. Durban Super Giants have some tall pacers in their ranks, and they can certainly use their home conditions well.

South Australia chased the target in 19.3 overs with five wickets to spare. Michael Klinger and Daniel Harris combined for a century partnership, and they scored their respective half-centuries as well. Lasith Malinga bowled a brilliant spell (4-0-22-2), but he could not save the team.
