Wanderers Stadium on a rainy day

After the shift of the Indian Premier League to South Africa, BCCI and Cricket South Africa is working closely to decide the new schedule. As per reports published in the Independent Online, Wanderers Stadium which is South Africa’s biggest venue will hold the IPL 2 final on May 24, one semi-final a day before and six other league matches.
