Greenfield International Stadium Pitch Report, Thiruvananthapuram
Covers 10 international matches at this ground from Nov 2017 to Jan 2026.
Big totals are the headline of the Greenfield International Stadium pitch report, and India have made most of them, winning 6 of 7 men’s games at the Thiruvananthapuram venue. The data covers 10 internationals here from Nov 2017 to Jan 2026: for men, 2 ODIs and 5 T20Is, and for women, 3 T20Is.
The latest game, on 31 Jan 2026, was the highest scoring yet. India made 271/5 against New Zealand, Ishan Kishan hit 103 off 43 balls, and India won by 46 runs.
Greenfield Stadium Pitch: Batting or Bowling?
With only 10 games, the batting first and chasing split is close to even. In men’s T20Is, sides batting first won 3 of 5 and chasers 2. The 2 men’s ODIs were shared, while the women’s T20Is split 2 to 1, with the extra win going to the side that batted first. Seven of the 10 toss winners chose to field, and just half of all toss winners won.
T20I scores are high. Men’s first innings average 196 on the summary table, lifted by India’s 235/4 versus Australia in Nov 2023 and that 271/5 in Jan 2026; the pitch table’s 170 is lower because it also counts India’s 67 defended in the rain-shortened game of Nov 2017. Replies come to 152 on average, and no one has chased more than 173. Women’s T20Is are almost as lively, 169 batting first and 155 in reply.
The two ODIs were lopsided. West Indies were all out for 104 in Nov 2018 and India knocked off the 105 needed. In Jan 2023 India piled up 390/5 against Sri Lanka and won by 317 runs, the biggest margin at the ground, which is why the ODI second innings averages only 89.
