Southend Club Cricket Stadium (previously known as the Defence Cricket Stadium) is a cricket ground in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.
The ground has hosted only one Test match, that being the 1st Test between Pakistan and Zimbabwe, from 1 December to 6 December 1993.[1][2] Pakistan won that match by 131 runs, mainly due to Waqar Younis taking 7–91 in the first innings and 6–44 in the second. This was the first match of Younis as captain of Pakistan, standing in for Wasim Akram. Younis became Pakistan's youngest Test captain. The stadium remains an approved venue for Test cricket.[3]
The stadium has hosted 17 other first-class cricket matches from 1990 to 2000,[4][5] and 16 List A limited overs matches from 1990 to 1999.[6][7]
Defence Housing Authority Stadium since 2005 has now developed into The Southend Club with various sports & recreationals facilities.
In January 2019, the venue was named as the host of the Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) series between the Pakistan and West Indies women's cricket teams.[8][9]
Three group stage matches of the 2018 ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup were held at the stadium, the third of these was abandoned after rain leaked onto the square which led players from the UAE team to criticise the facilities.[10]
In the past, Sri Lanka, England 'A' Team, West Indies under-19 team and Bangladesh Men and Women teams also played their matches at this Stadium.
