Arnos Vale Ground Pitch Report and Records, St Vincent
Covers 24 international matches at this ground from Jun 2003 to Mar 2026.
Set a total and defend it: that is the clearest message in the Arnos Vale Ground pitch report, where the side batting first has won 7 of 8 men’s T20Is. The ground in Kingstown, St Vincent, has staged 24 internationals in the data between Jun 2003 and Mar 2026.
They split into 2 Tests, 11 men’s ODIs, 8 men’s T20Is and 3 women’s T20Is. Low scores are the norm in white-ball games, with ODI first innings averaging 186. The latest match, on 23 Mar 2026, was a women’s T20I that Australia won by 40 runs (DLS) against West Indies.
Arnos Vale Stadium Pitch: Low Totals Win Games
This is a bowler’s ground in limited-overs cricket. Leaving aside DLS games, the side batting first in a men’s ODI makes 189 on average and the chaser only 149. Kingstown’s best ODI chase is 165, while 124 has been defended. Results are level, 5 wins batting first and 5 chasing.
T20Is lean hard towards the team setting a target. Openers make 142 and chasers 121, and a score of 106 has been enough to win. The lone successful chase reached 158. In the 2 women’s T20Is without a DLS result, Australia batted first both times and won from 164.
The two Tests tell the same story in a longer form. Innings one averages 361 and innings three 330, but the side batting last has averaged just 97. The highest winning chase in the fourth innings is 13, when West Indies needed only that to win by 10 wickets in Sep 2014. The toss means little: its winner took 11 of 23 decided games, and 16 captains chose to field.
