Nairobi Club Ground
The Nairobi Club Ground is a multi-use sports venue in Upper Hill, Nairobi, Kenya. It is the oldest cricket ground in Kenya, and was the first to get a turf wicket, which was laid by Don Pringle, who played for East Africa in the 1975 Cricket World Cup.The ground hosted its only One-Day International in 1996, when South Africa played Sri Lanka in the Sameer Cup. Sri Lanka won the match by 2 wickets, with Sanath Jayasuriya passing 2,500 runs in ODI cricket and 100 wickets in List A cricket during the match.
Other international matches have been played at the venue, with Kenya playing Tanzania in 1951 and 1952, and New Zealand in 1999. It also hosted eight matches in the 1994 ICC Trophy, none of which involved Kenya, the highlight perhaps being the match between Bermuda and the UAE which saw Bermuda score 329/9 only for the UAE to chase the target down and score 330/9 to win by one wicket with just two balls to spare. Both innings are in the all-time top 20 ICC Trophy team totals, and the UAE's total is their highest in the ICC Trophy.
