Understanding Kingsmead
These notes use the fixed 2022/23–2025/26 archive, regardless of the filter above. They do not describe today’s pitch or weather.
Four innings can tell different stories
In 2025/26, Kingsmead's four eligible first innings had a mean of 161.5 but a median of 179.5. Durban's Super Giants' 86 all out against Joburg Super Kings on 30 December 2025 helps explain the gap. That completed innings belongs in the average even though it ended after 17.1 overs. Removing a low all-out score would change the question being answered.
Batting first and batting second
Chasing sides won six of the 16 eligible decided matches across all seasons, or 37.5%. Each of the four seasons contributes just four results. Within a four-match sample, changing one result from a defence to a chase win moves the percentage by 25 points. Compare the wins and total matches alongside the percentage, especially when checking a single Durban season.
How the scoring rate changed through an innings
The all-season pooled rate was 8.15 runs per over during overs 1–6, 7.58 during overs 7–15 and 10.07 during overs 16–20. Both regulation innings contribute, including partial phases. The figures show when scoring occurred; they do not identify a bowling style or demonstrate that humidity, tides or dew caused a change.
A high total still belongs in the record
Durban's Super Giants made 216/4 against Paarl Royals on 15 January 2023 and won by 27 runs. It is the highest first-innings total in the eligible Kingsmead sample. Read it alongside the low innings and season summaries: the archive contains both kinds of match, and neither extreme on its own supplies a dependable target for the next fixture.
Questions about Kingsmead
What is the lowest SA20 first-innings score at Kingsmead?
Durban's Super Giants were all out for 80 against Pretoria Capitals on 20 January 2023, the lowest eligible first innings here in our four-season archive. Capitals reached 84/2 in 7.4 overs. The 86 all out discussed above belongs to 2025/26: it helps explain that season's average, but is not the all-season minimum.
Why are four source matches outside the main scoring sample?
The summaries apply the same eligibility rules at every ground. Shortened matches, modified results and no-results are excluded where those conditions apply. The individual match rows show the reasons; the broader archive remains useful for checking what was played.
Is this a Kingsmead pitch report for today's match?
This page describes recorded SA20 cricket. It does not contain an inspection of today's surface, a weather observation or confirmed team selections. Use the historical numbers as background, with current match information from the competition and teams.
Does the archive include every scheduled game in Durban?
No. A washout without deliveries may have no ball-by-ball file. The written examples use the 2022/23–2025/26 snapshot reviewed on 19 October 2026; its match count is a source-coverage count rather than a complete fixture list.
