South Africa confirmed as venue for 44 of 54 ODI games
JOHANNESBURG: Cricket South Africa on Thursday announced a local organising committee for the 2027 50-over Cricket World Cup — and revealed that 44 of the 54 matches will be played at eight venues in South Africa.
The remaining 10 matches will be played in Zimbabwe and Namibia.
It will be the first men’s Cricket World Cup in Africa since the 2003 version was staged in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Kenya.
South Africa has hosted two Women’s World Cups since then – the 2005 50-over competition and the 2023 T20 World Cup, when the Proteas lost to Australia in the final.
Former South African finance minister Trevor Manuel will head the local organising committee.
In a statement, CSA said matches in South Africa will be played in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban, Gqeberha, Bloemfontein, East London and Paarl.
CSA chairperson Pearl Maphoshe said: “CSA’s vision is to stage a global, inspiring event which will reflect the face of South Africa — diverse, inclusive, and united.”
John Mayer and Kat Stickler’s relationship has come to an end after they were reportedly planning on settling down together.
The musician and the influencer sparked dating rumours in October 2025, and were frequently spotted dining together and spending time with each other in New York City.
While the Gravity hitmaker was believed to be actively pursuing the social media star, and introducing her to his friends and family, the couple suddenly broke off in March.
Mayer and Stickler quietly split ways as an insider told the celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi, which came as a surprise to people.
Following the news social media sleuths noticed that the pair stopped ‘liking’ each other’s posts in February this year.
The breakup news surfaced after an insider revealed that the New Light singer was “looking to seriously date” and settle down with Stickler.
