Sector 16 Stadium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sector 16 Stadium is a cricket stadium in Chandigarh, India. It hosted its first ODI match on January 27, 1985 and its only Test match in 1990. It comes under the Haryana Cricket Association.
THe following are the matches played over here:
- First Test - India v Sri Lanka - Nov 23-27, 1990
- First ODI - India v England - Jan 27, 1985
- Second Last ODI - India v England - Jan 21, 1993
- Last ODI - India v Australia - Oct 8, 2007
It has hosted only four matches. The likes of Kapil Dev, Chetan Sharma and Yograj Singh started playing cricket at the Sector 16 Stadium. It fell out of favour to the nearby Punjab Cricket Association Stadium (Mohali) cricket ground. After the stadium in Mohali was built, there was no first-class cricket at the Sector 16 Stadium for 10 years before Haryana ended the barren spell by playing the Ranji Trophy Plate League semi-final in 2004-05. But after 14 years, India & Australia played a match over here on 8th Oct 2007.
