The iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Wednesday became the first international cricket venue to host 300 men’s matches with the first Afghanan-Bangladesh ODI.
The horic United Arab Emirates venue has hosted 252 ODIS, 38 T20s and 10 Test matches ahead of Wednesday’s game. Sri Lanka and Pakan played the first-ever match at the venue in an Asia Cup ODI in 1984.
Host to several memorable tournaments in the 1990s, legendary India batter Sachin Tendulkar has recorded seven ODI tons, including the famous ‘Desert Storm’ onslaught against Australia at the venue in 1998. Tendulkar’s seven centuries have only been matched Pakan’s Saeed Anwar on the ground.
