Event Notes: Moses Mabhida Stadium To Host Nelson Mandela Challenge

Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, South Africa, was announced as the host of the Nelson Mandela Challenge. A source close to the South African FA said that Mabhida will host the spectacle next week. Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth was identified as the "suitable venue" to host the match but failed to agree to terms with the SAFA (IOL, 11/12).

The Int'l Cricket Council decided against relocating the remaining matches in Group A of the Women's World T20 from St. Lucia to Antigua "because of poor weather." England's first match of the tournament against Sri Lanka on Saturday in St. Lucia was abandoned "without a ball bowled." Further storms and torrential rain are forecast until Thursday (BBC, 11/11).
