Defence Housing Authority Stadium

Defence Housing Authority Stadium

Southend Club Cricket Stadium (previously known as the Defence Cricket Stadium) is a cricket ground in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.

It has hosted only one Test match, the 1st Test [1]between Pakistan and Zimbabwe, from 1 December to 6 December 1993. Pakistan won by 131 runs, mainly due to Waqar Younis taking 7-91 in the first innings and 6-44 in the second. This was his first match as captain of Pakistan, standing in for Wasim Akram. Younis became Pakistan's youngest Test captain. It remains an approved venue for Test cricket.[2]

The stadium has hosted 17 other first-class cricket matches from 1990 to 2000,[3][4] and 16 List A limited overs matches from 1990 to 1999.[5][6]
