Page "Riverside Ground" Paragraph 4

The development of the Riverside into a significant cricketing venue was underscored in 1999, when it hosted World Cup matches involving Pakistan, Scotland, Australia and Bangladesh, and then in 2000 when it staged the first One Day International match in the NatWest Triangular Series between England, Zimbabwe and the West Indies.

In 2001 a One-day International between Australia and Pakistan was scheduled, but abandoned due to weather conditions.
