Venues that have hosted ICC World Cup Finals

#2 Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India

Eden Gardens, Kolkata is one of the iconic stadiums of the world

Built in 1864, the Eden Gardens is a testimony to the sport loving culture of West Bengal in India. This is one of the most iconic cricket grounds in the world and has witnessed several notable International matches.

In the 1987 World Cup Final at the Eden Gardens, Australia batted first at this venue and scored 253/5 in 50 overs and in response, England could only manage 248 runs for the loss of 8 wickets.

The match is remembered for David Boon’s 75 runs in the first innings, one that helped Australia put a competitive total and win them the game and also secured him a Player of the Match Award in the finals.

Thus India is the only country in the world which has hosted World Cup finals in two different venues.
