2nd Test - Australia v West Indies: Day 3
Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica

1 Pakistan at National Cricket Stadium, Karachi from 1955-2000

First Test - Pakistan v South Africa - Day Five
National Cricket Stadium, Karachi

Pakistan is one of the world's great cricketing nations and for 45 years, the National Stadium at Karachi served as their fortress against visiting sides.

They played their first Test at the venue against arch-rivals India in February of 1955. The first game ended in a draw but over the next 45 years, they would play 33 more games at the venue and out of those Pakistan won 18 of those.

During that streak, the team recorded many famous victories against India, Australia and also the mighty West Indies when they were at the peak of their powers in 1990. However, the magnificent streak came to an end in 2000, when England chased down a target in fading light and condemned Pakistan to a 6 wicket defeat.
