The first match at Bankstown will be between New Zealand and West Indies on Tuesday 10 March

Bankstown Cricket Club will host six games during the Women's World Cup including the third-fourth play-off.

England will play New Zealand at Bankstown on Saturday 14 March at the Super Six stage should both teams emerge from their respective groups.

Bankstown Cricket Club, who play Sydney grade cricket, was formed in 1951 by Harry Toohey, Jack Fitzpatrick, Sid Boddy, Maurie Lilienthal and a host of other local cricket enthusiasts.

Initially named Bankstown-Canterbury, the club reverted to Bankstown in 2000.

The club have provided six Australian Test players - Grahame Thomas, Jeff Thomson, Len Pascoe, Steve Smith, Steve Waugh and Mark Waugh. The new pavilion was named in the twins' honour.

Bob Holland and Ian Davis also played for Bankstown but were with other clubs when they represented Australia, whilst Wayne Holdsworth went on the 1993 Ashes tour to England but did not play a Test.

The ground held its first Sheffield Shield match in November 1996, Steve Waugh marking the first day of first-class cricket on his home ground by scoring a century, though this was slightly upstaged the next day when Andrew Symonds blasted a hundred in a session.

The first women's international was played in November 1997 when Australia met New Zealand for the Rose Bowl.
