From 10 -26 February 2023, Cape Town, Paarl and Gqeberha are playing host to 10 of the world’s best cricket teams in the Women’s T20 World Cup, a spectacle where records are set to tumble.
From the grass
Tickets for the T20 World Cup matches are available for a steal from as little as R20 and top out at R160. Contrast that to the Protea men’s series against the West Indies late February where tickets for the tests go for R100 – R550 and the ODIs for R50 – R720.
For a direct comparison the T20 tickets versus the Windies are going for R100 – R680. Even the SA20 tickets start at R60. All tickets are available at TicketPro.
Only three stadiums will be used throughout the event. Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town will serve as the main venue hosting the opening and final games. St George’s Park in Gqeberha and Boland Park in Paarl host a number of other games. A series of other venues have been used during the tournament warm up.

If you can’t get to any of the venues, or just want to see how various Women’s T20 World Cup commentators say “Gqeberha” you can watch it on TV. SuperSport will be taking the world broadcast feed. They will be live with analysis 30 minutes before each game which will roll on throughout the encounter.
No word yet on if any of the matches will be available on free to air, or stream, SABC Sport. Games are however available to stream in most countries via icc.tv with a free account.
