The stadium was a sell-out with 50,000 people packed in to watch the Proteas (South Africa's national cricket team) take on the might of India. And although South Africa came up several runs short and lost the game, it was still a wonderful experience to be part of the largest crowd to ever watch a cricket game on the African continent!
The teams stand for the national anthems.
SA cricket legend Makhaya Ntini bowls in his final match.
My friends intently watch the game - we even managed to win over a few Americans!

South Africa's run-chase did not get off to the greatest of starts. Here Hashim Amla is bowled...
But there was still lots of cheering for South African fans!

Although SA lost, there was still plenty to celebrate, as SA fans said farewell to one of our sporting heroes, Makhaya Ntini.
The sun sets on a great day!
