South Africa is a country which is full of scenic destinations and one of them is definitely Newlands cricket stadium. It is nestled at the foot of Table mountains and Devil’s Peak. The cloud cover at the top of the mountains is the most decorated view from the stadium.

Even though there are stands it still consists of grass embankments which makes it a unique experience for the spectators. The stadium was established in 1888 and in its history of 120 years it has hosted 117 games. It has a seating capacity of 25000 people and there are trees and chalets surrounding the venue.

Like its open grassed stands it has a lush green outfield. It hosted its first ODI game in 1992 when the nation returned to the cricketing fold after Apartheid. The pitch favours spin bowling and most of the country’s tweakers come from this part.
