Double Headers

120 Pakistan - Last home of the double-header Test venue in the city) on 18 occasions and the Whites on 16, with three instances where both teams were playing elsewhere. At Lahore there has been a slightly greater imbalance: of the 28 separate but simultaneous home matches played by Ravi and Shalimar since 2005/06, Shalimar have played 15 at the Gaddafi Stadium against only seven by Ravi, with six occasions where neither team used the Test ground. This imbalance largely dates to the earlier part of the period, as Ravi did not play their first match at the premier ground until 2010/11, since when they have played there seven times against Shalimar’s four. (ii) Triple-headers The presence of three teams from the same organisation in one competition in the same year has created the potential for all three teams to be playing simultaneously on occasions, and this has actually happened six times, as follows – with the triple-heading team being Karachi on each occasion. In the instances in 1957/58 (11 October) and 1983/84 (11/13 October), two of the three matches were against sides from the same province, making these occasions double-headers for the teams from Sind and Lahore City respectively, as well as triple-headers for Karachi.
