ICC CHAMPIONS TROPHY  2006 in INDIA - VENUE LIST

 



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
