The '''Providence Stadium''' or '''Guyana National Stadium''' is a sports stadium in [[Guyana]], replacing [[Bourda]] as the [[national stadium]]. The stadium was built specifically to host Super Eight matches in the [[2007 Cricket World Cup]] held in March and April 2007.

The stadium hosted six World Cup matches between March 28, 2007 and April 9, 2007, most notably the match between [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]] and [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]] in which Sri Lankan fast bowler [[Lasith Malinga]] became the first bowler in international cricket history to take four wickets in four consecutive balls.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-rsa.cricinfo.com/wc2007/content/story/287713.html|title=Full length, full reward|website=cricinfo.com|access-date=20 April 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/content/records/263626.html|title=Records - One-Day Internationals - Bowling records - Hat-tricks - ESPNcricinfo|website=cricinfo.com|access-date=20 April 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/6498645.stm|title=Last-gasp S Africa beat Sri Lanka|date=28 March 2007|access-date=20 April 2018|via=news.bbc.co.uk}}</ref> Built primarily for cricket matches, the stadium can be converted into a multi-use facility.

==History==
Built for the [[2007 ICC Cricket World Cup]], the stadium hosted six One Day Internationals as part of that competition, all at the Super Eights stage. As of June 2016, it has hosted ten more [[One Day International|ODI]] games since the 2007 World Cup including a historic three Day/Night matches during the 2016 Tri Series involving West Indies, Australia and South Africa. This series represents the first time that every ODI match is played under floodlights in the Caribbean.

Providence hosted its first Test Match in 2008, with Sri Lanka as the visiting team, but didn't host another Test until May 2011, when the West Indies defeated Pakistan. It was also one of the venues for the [[2010 ICC World Twenty20]], hosting six group stage matches, including 2 matches involving the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]].

It has also hosted other sports other than cricket including football and also hosted the [[Rugby at the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games|rugby sevens]] competition at the [[2010 Central American and Caribbean Games]]. The opening and closing ceremonies as well as the numerous super concerts held for [[Carifesta]]10 were also hosted there. With the advent of the [[Caribbean Premier League]] the stadium became the home ground for the [[Guyana Amazon Warriors]] franchise hosting league matches in each of the first three seasons.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cplt20.com/teams/guyana-amazon-warriors|title=Guyana Amazon Warriors Caribbean Premier League CPL T20|website=www.cplt20.com|access-date=20 April 2018}}</ref>

The stadium was built by the [[Government of Guyana]] with substantial financial assistance from the [[Government of India]].  It was conceptualised by R. K and Associates Architects Engineers Planners New Delhi, designed by C R Narayana Rao (CRN) Architects and Engineers Chennai and constructed by [[Shapoorji Pallonji Group]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/Shapoorji-Pallonji-readies-IPO-for-arm/articleshow/903974.cms|title=Shapoorji Pallonji readies IPO for arm - Times of India|website=indiatimes.com|access-date=20 April 2018}}</ref>  Flooding in 2005 slowed site preparation, and delayed the start of construction, which began in May 2005.  Construction costs are estimated at $25,000,000 US.

Seating 15,000 people, Providence Stadium is one of the largest sports arenas in Guyana, and now hosts test cricket instead of [[Bourda]]. The complex includes a shopping mall and luxury apartments. Princess International Hotel is located next to the stadium.

==Transport==
Providence Stadium is located on the east bank of the [[Demerara River]] a few kilometres south of the Guyanese capital, [[Georgetown, Guyana|Georgetown]]. Located along the East Bank Highway the stadium is a ten-minute drive from Georgetown's city centre and a 30-minute drive from [[Cheddi Jagan International Airport]].
