FACTS Opened 1997 Capacity 19000 Known as John Davies Oval, Davies Park Ends Remarkables End, Coronet Peak End Location Queenstown, New Zealand Time Zone UTC +13:00 Home to New Zealand, Otago Venue Description: The Queenstown Events Centre is bordered by farmland and nestles in the foothills of the stunning mountain range, The Remarkables. They are aptly named, and the ground is situated in a very picturesque area, near Lake Wakatipu. The ground held its first international in 2003, just two years after becoming a first-class venue. There are no plans to hold Tests there just yet, as the facilities aren't quite up to scratch, but discussions are being held about the possibility. The centre itself holds events such as dinners, film shoots and concerts, including acts such as international icon Joe Cocker, Jimmy Barnes and Little River Band. Two ODI centuries have been achieved at the ground. Jesse Ryder scored 104 off 51 balls vs West Indies on 1 January 2014. Corey Anderson scored 131* off 47 balls vs West Indies on 1 January 2014. Trivia: Corey Anderson broke Shahid Afridi's 17-year-old record of the fastest ODI hundred by one ball, scoring his in 36 balls. He eventually ended with an unbeaten 131 that featured 14 sixes and 6 fours.
