Venues that have hosted ICC World Cup Finals

#4 Wanderers, Johannesburg, South Africa

The 2003 World Cup final was held at the Wanderers

The 2003 World Cup final was held at the Wanderers, a wonderful cricket stadium in South Africa. Built in 1956, the stadium has a seating capacity of about 35,000 people.

The Host country was not a participant in the summit clash in 2003 but India and Australia had established a reputation of a good rivalry by this time and this made for an exciting battle between the bat and the ball.

India were perhaps batted out of the match by Australia who made 359 runs for 2 wickets at a time when getting 300 was considered a huge task.

Ricky Ponting’s outstanding century laid the foundation of a massive total and after Sachin Tendulkar departed in the first over itself, the match was practically over.

India could only muster 234 runs and lost to a team who were quite evidently the better side on the day.
