 Established: 2003

Match: Australia v New Zealand (March 18).

Talking point: Surrounded by the Himalayas, the ground, which sits at an altitude of 1,457m above sea level, is one of the world's most picturesque stadiums. Was to have staged the India-Pakistan game but the International Cricket Council shifted the tie out due to security threats.
