Zimbabwe Cricket says major construction work at the Mosi-oa-Tunya International Cricket Stadium in Victoria Falls is finished, with attention now on finishing work, according to iHarare. The stadium is set to host its first World Cup match on 24 October 2027, when Zimbabwe face India, and will also host three Super 7 fixtures. [1]
The stadium's main structures, including media and broadcast centres, changing rooms, and grandstands, are substantially complete, with workers now focusing on roofing, installing bucket seats, and completing other features, iHarare reports. A trial match is planned before the facility is fully completed, which is targeted for mid-2027. [1]
The location of the stadium in Victoria Falls, a popular tourist destination, is expected to attract international cricket fans who can combine their visit with a trip to the falls, says iHarare. This will not only boost the local economy but also provide a unique experience for visitors. [1]
