NMB Giants St Georges Home Games

By

We’re back for the second instalment of the Proudly South African Mzansi Super League (MSL) with an action-packed line-up for all our home games at St George’s Park Cricket Ground.

As cricket fever takes over Nelson Mandela Bay the people of the friendly city anxiously await the arrival of the players who will be representing the Giants in this years’ competition.

The likes of world cup winner and Giants’ international marquee player, Jason Roy, Protea marquee Imran Tahir as well as Australian Ben Dunk, will flock to the city in time for the team’s opening fixture on Sunday, 10 November 2019.

Having to begin the tournament right off the bat, this could prove to be the edge the Giants need to kick off their campaign on a high.

It is the build-up and with every passing day we get closer and closer to the action.

The NMB Giants start their campaign with an opening home game against the 2018 edition winners, Jozi Stars.

Over the course of the tournament, St George’s Park will play host to five home games:

  1. Sunday, 10 November 2019 – 14h00 vs JOZI STARS
  2. Wednesday, 20 November 2019 – 17h30 vs CAPE TOWN BLITZ
  3. Saturday, 23 November 2019 – 12h30 vs DURBAN HEAT
  4. Wednesday, 27 November 2019 – 17h30 vs PAARL ROCKS
  5. Tuesday, 3 December 2019 – 17h30 vs TSHWANE SPARTANS

While each home game represents family fun for all, the Nelson Mandela Bay Giants will offer a themed approach to each fixture with specials, activities and packages to suit all cricket lovers.

With the players arriving in the Bay in just a few days, Port Elizabeth looks to welcome their team with a brazen open floor meet and greet between the players and the public at Baywest Mall – Royal Aces Bistro (Entrance 4) on Friday, 8 November 2019 from 17h30 to 18h30.

The players are ready, the country is ready, and our city is ready to rally behind the NMB Giants as they battle it out to be the best.

The success of this years’ MSL is expected to overshadow the initial impact of the first instalment of the T20 tournament in 2018.

We’re just seven days away from the official MSL2.0 kick off and the excitement is undoubtedly filling the atmosphere.

Having gone through the trophy tour, it is now set in stone, looking forward to the thrills of T20 Cricket like you’ve never seen it before.
