Sharjah Cricket Stadium in UAE has witnessed many historical events and matches of cricket. This stadium has seen many historic matches between India and Pakistan. From the beginning of the nineties to today, Sharjah Stadium is a unique legend of cricket. Sharjah is hosting Bangladesh's away series against Afghanistan in ODI format for the first time.
However, Bangladesh's memories at the Sharjah Stadium are not very good. The Tigers last played an ODI here in 1995. No win in 6 ODIs. Tomorrow will come against Afghanistan to break that embarrassing record. After 29 years, Bangladesh will play in ODI format in this field. Tigers did not win even though they played T20 sometimes.

However, Bangladesh is also witnessing a record. The 300th international match will be held tomorrow at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium as the first venue in the world. The Sydney Cricket Ground is also very close to touching the 300' milestone. But the name of Sharjah is first.

A few days ago, this stadium made history with Afghanistan's first ODI match against South Africa. That match was the 250th ODI match at Sharjah Stadium. This ground already held the record for hosting the most matches in ODI cricket. The first ODI of the South Africa series adds a new dimension to it.

This time Bangladesh is witnessing the 300th international match at Sharjah Stadium. Sharjah Cricket Stadium was built in 1984 in Sharjah, the industrial city of the United Arab Emirates, considering the popularity of ODI cricket. This stadium quickly became popular with the expatriate visitors in the United Arab Emirates. Sharjah Stadium has hosted more matches than many centennial stadiums. This ground is the only stadium in the world to host 200 ODI matches.

After 29 years playing in this field of Sharjah, Bangladesh is getting a strong team as opponent. Afghanistan recently won their first bilateral series against South Africa on this ground. They have lost to Zimbabwe and Ireland in the past. Rashid Khanra has not lost any series played in Sharjah since 2017.
