Sylhet International Cricket Stadium
Sylhet International Cricket Stadium (SICS) (Bengali: সিলেট আন্তর্জাতিক ক্রিকেট স্টেডিয়াম) also known as Sylhet Stadium and previously known as Sylhet Divisional Stadium, is a cricket stadium in Sylhet, Bangladesh. SICS is surrounded by hills and has a scenic view and it is the only cricket stadium having a green gallery. The stadium was significantly expanded in 2013, to host matches for the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 and 2014 ICC Women's World Twenty20. The stadium hosted its first international match on 17 March 2014 with Ireland taking on Zimbabwe. The stadium hosted 2022 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup.
The stadium was built in 2007, as a divisional cricket stadium. The stadium is surrounded by hills and has a scenic view. England Lions, England Under-19 and Nepal Under-19 have played here.
The venue hosted its first test match in November 2018, becoming the eighth test venue in Bangladesh, where the home team lost to Zimbabwe by 151 runs. The venue hosted its second test five years later, in 2023, since the first test match was played here in 2018.
In November–December 2023, Bangladesh played a test against New Zealand and won the match by 150 runs which was their first test win against New Zealand at home and their first test win at this venue.
The stadium was expanded and renovated to host matches of the 2014 ICC World Twenty20. The renovation began in June 2013 and ended in mid-November 2013. The main pavilion building and the media center have been constructed, floodlights have been installed, and seating arrangements were modified. Another more striking part of the stadium is the newly built, country's first 'Green gallery'.
The venue was again renovated in 2017 in order to upgrade the venue to an international standard stadium. A second tier was built in the east side gallery, increasing the seating capacity by 5,000 and the green hillock was remodified. As a result, the venue hosted the first leg of BPL 2017 matches.
Shai Hope scored the first century at this ground in its inaugural ODI match when West Indies toured Bangladesh in 2018-19. Liton Das became first Bangladeshi batsman to score a century at the venue when Zimbabwe toured Bangladesh in March 2020.
The following table summarises the Women's Twenty20 International centuries scored at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
