Rawalpindi - 2nd ODI & 3rd Test

Rawalpindi, or ‘Pindi’ as it is known, has grown in recent years from a small garrison town to a vital commercial and industrial centre.

Among the places of interest in and around Rawalpindi-Islamabad, first and foremost is the excavated archaeological site of Taxila (32 km from Rawalpindi) that dates from the 06th century B.C. to the 05th century A.D.

Situated at the foot of Murree Hills, Rawalpindi and Islamabad are linked by modern roads to Muree, Nathiagali, and Abottabad -- hills stations that are popular tourist resorts. On the outskirts of Rawalpindi-Islamabad are Mangla and Tarbela Dams, among the world’s largest. They are well worth a visit.

India have never played a One-Day International on this ground. Only two ODIs have been played here and Pakistan have won both. The only Test match to be played at the ground was way back in 1964/65 against New Zealand.
