Cuttack Pitch Report: Big ODI Totals, Chasers on Top
Cuttack is a high-scoring ODI ground. Teams batting first have made 291 on average, and teams replying 270, a narrow gap. Chasers have won six of the eight ODIs, the largest pursuit being India’s 316/6 chase versus West Indies (Dec 2019). Only two ODI totals have been defended here, and both were huge: 381/6 versus England in Jan 2017 and 363/5 versus Sri Lanka in Nov 2014, each made by India.
T20Is tell a different story from a small sample. They stand at two wins apiece. Openers have made 149 on average, but replies only 102, dragged down by South Africa’s 74 in Dec 2025 and India’s 92 in Oct 2015.
Captains like to field first: nine toss winners bowled, three batted. The toss winner still won only 5 of the 12 matches.
