Here's the lowdown on the venue ahead of the third India v New Zealand ODI.
The first ODI played at the PCA Stadium was on November 22, 1993 when Mohammad Azharuddin's India beat South Africa by 43 runs during the CAB Jubilee Tournament, also known as the Hero Cup. India won their next matches there too, beating Australia by five runs in 1996 and Bangladesh by five wickets in 1998, before losing to Pakistan in 1999.
