Karachi National Stadium

Karachi National Stadium,

Pakistan

  • Built in 1955 and located on National Stadium Road, the National Stadium became the largest cricket stadium in Pakistan after renovations were made to Gaddafi Stadium, which reduced its seating capacity. As of now, being among the best cricket stadiums in Pakistan, the National Stadium can hold about 34,000 spectators. It is also the home ground of the PSL team Karachi Kings. It was once considered as the ‘Fortress of Pakistani cricket’ as Pakistan emerged victorious in most Test matches played on this ground.

​

  • The pitch here offers an advantage to fast bowlers in Test matches, but it remains batting-friendly for ODIs (One-Day Internationals). The stadium was also the host for the finale as well as several other matches of PSL in 2019. As for PSL 5, nine matches were played at this stadium, along with the opening ceremony of PSL 2020.

Pakistan

Al-Dhaid Cricket Ground

Sharjah

  • One of a number of new cricket venues in the UAE, Al Dhaid Cricket Village might just be the most remote. Located south of the village Al-Dhaid in the Emirate of Sharjah, the cricket village was inaugurated in 2009 when it hosted the Asian Cricket Council Twenty20 Trophy - and it quickly earned praise for the quality of its facilities and pitch. 
     

  • It is set amongst the backdrop of palm trees which gives it a real sense of being in Arabia.
