The Alexandra Park Stadium (formerly known as the Alexandra Park and sometimes known as the Pietermaritzburg Oval), is a multi-purpose stadium in Pietermaritbur, South Africa. The 12,000-capacity stadium is currently used for cricket games, with KwaZulu-Natal Inland men’s and women’s teams, KwaZulu-Natal and Dolphins (who also play at Kingsmead, Durban), and two matches during the 2003 Cricket World Cup being hosted there.It is one of only three first-class cricket grounds in the world with a tree within the boundary ropes (the others being St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury, United Kingdom, and VRA Cricket Ground in Amstelveen, Netherlands). Following a century or a five-wicket haul at the City Oval, any cricketer that scores a century or plants a tree at the ground gets to do so. Chesterfield’s Queen’s Park cricket ground served as inspiration for The City Oval Pavilion.

History
The first first-class cricket match on the City Oval, then known as Alexandra Park, took place in 1894/95. The City Oval was used by Natal and Marylebone Cricket Club for 9 first-class games between 1895 and 1957. The City Oval has been used to host numerous South African A side and touring cricket matches. In 1950, Natal welcomed an Australian squad on a tour while in 1958, the province hosted an Australian team on a similar visit. The City Oval was the site of a List A match between Bangladesh and the South African Board President’s XI in 2000, with Charl Langeveldt taking 5/7 as Bangladesh were bowled out for 51 and succumbed by 10 wickets. South Africa A and List A matches were also played at the City Oval against Australia A in 2002/03 and Sri Lanka A in 2008/09. In July 2015, three youth ODIs took place between the South Africa U-19 team and Bangladesh U-19 team; South Africa U-19 came out on top with two victories.
