Punjab CricketAssociation Stadium, MOHALI |
It’s hard to believe that what was once a land that resembled
nothing less than a dumping ground in 1992 was turned into
arguably India's best stadium within a span of two years. The
PCA cricket Stadium is a truly a world-class venue with
excellent facilities both for the players and the spectators.
The PCA Stadium has played host to some of the most exciting
matches. One that remains etched in everyone's mind is the
1996 ICC Cricket World Cup semi-final game between Australia
and West Indies where the 'Wizard of Oz' Shane Warne denied
the Windies of a certain victory.
In the past, the Mohali pitch was often considered as the best
in the country as it offered good pace and bounce for all
bowlers. However, it no longer plays to its reputation ever
since it was re-laid a few years ago. Nevertheless, it's still
an ideal wicket for one-day cricket.
Mohali is slated to host five matches during the ICC Champions
Trophy which includes the first semi-final
