JB Marks Oval is a cricket ground in Potchefstroom, North West Province, South Africa. It has hosted two Test matches, with the first in 2002. The Highveld Lions also play some home matches here. It is also home to AFL South Africa, the Australian rules football, body responsible for developing the game in that country and the stadium is home to the South African national Australian rules football team, the Lions. On 29 October 2017, the venue hosted its first T20I match for South Africa against Bangladesh, which was the 100th T20I for South Africa.[2] [3]

As of September 2021,[4] due to a naming rights agreement, the ground was renamed to JB Marks Oval. It has previously been known as Senwes Park and Sedgars Park.
