Venues that have hosted ICC World Cup Finals

#3 Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, Pakistan

Although the tournament was co-hosted by Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka, finals were scheduled at Lahore

The Gaddafi Stadium in Pakistan is home to the Pakistan Cricket Board and was designed by the famous architect Nasreddin Murat-Khan. The ground was specially renovated for the 1996 World Cup final in which Sri Lanka was lined up against Australia.

Australia batted first and scored 241/7 in 50 overs but led by Aravinda de Silva’s century, Sri Lanka got there in just 46.2 overs.

Prior to this de Silva had also picked up three wickets with the ball and was adjudged the Player of the Match for his remarkable performance in the finals.
