Multan Cricket Stadium is a multi-use stadium in Multan, Pakistan. The stadium is located off Vahari Road, in the suburbs of Multan. Having such a lush green outfield and playing area, the stadium is probably the most beautiful in the country at the moment. It is currently used mostly for cricket matches. The stadium holds 40,000, and hosted its first test match in 2001, Pakistan against Bangladesh for the Asian Test Championship. The stadium hosts both forms of international cricket; Test cricket and One Day International.
The ground is a replacement to the old Qasim Bagh Stadium located in the heart of Multan city. Flood lights were recently installed to make Day/Night matches possible. The first Day/Night game played at this ground was between arch rivals India and Pakistan, however, the lights were never turned on during the match, as it ended before there was need for them.
