Bahawal Stadium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bahawal Stadium is a cricket ground in Bahawalpur, Punjab, Pakistan. It was the first cricket ground in Western Pakistan to host a Test match, when it hosted the second Test of Indian cricket team in Pakistan in 1954-55 India's inaugural tour of Pakistan. However, this was the only international match to be held at this ground. As of 2002, 155 first class matches[1] and 23 List A matches have been played at this ground[2]. As Bahawalpur's cricket team has been without first class status since 2002–03, there was only one first class match and one List A match here for the three seasons following that, but the ground still hosts Under-19 matches. It seats 55,200.
