Peshawar – 3rd ODI

An ancient city of Central Asia, Peshawar is situated at the mouth of the historic Khyber Pass.

Pakistan have won three and lost two of the six Tests played at this venue. India have never played here.

The archaeological sites at Takht-e-Bhai, Charsadda and Shah-ji-ki-Dheri recall the ancient glories of this region from the Gandhara period to Greco-Buddhist civilization (3rd to 5th century B.C.).

Bala Hisar Fort and Jamrud Fort symbolize the historic and strategic importance of the area while the Kohat Pass (65 km from Peshawar) is renowned for the gun factories at Darra, where hand made weapons, ranging from swords and daggers to gun and automatic rifles, are made.
