The Old Georgians Sports Club is a sports club Harare. Its facilities include a cricket ground. The cricket ground played host to one first-class cricket match in October 1992, when Zimbabwe B played the touring New Zealanders,[1] which saw the New Zealanders Dipak Patel (5 for 54) and Simon Doull (6 for 37) taking five wicket hauls, and Mark Greatbatch scoring a century.[2] In the same month the ground hosted its first List A one-day match when the Zimbabwe Cricket Union President's XI played the touring Indians,[3] who were touring Zimbabwe to take part in the Zimbabwe's first Test series. The ground later held two one-day matches in the 2000 ICC Emerging Nations Tournament, with the Netherlands playing Ireland and Kenya, though the match against Ireland was called off due to a poor outfield and uneven pitch.[4] After a gap of nearly 20 years, the last one-day match to be played there came in the 2019–20 Pro50 Championship when the Eagles played the Rangers.[3]
