The smallest World Cup venue with a capacity of just 6,000, the Oval is part of a wider sports complex developed by local government to centralise sports and recreation facilities in the city.

The boutique ground hosted its first one-day international in January last year when New Zealand played West Indies, while the World Cup co-hosts played Sri Lanka there in January.
