Providence Stadium Pitch Report and Records, Guyana
Covers 62 international matches at this ground from Mar 2007 to Jul 2026.
Is the Providence Stadium pitch report a bowler’s story? The numbers from 62 internationals in Guyana, Mar 2007 to Jul 2026, say yes: ODI sides batting first average 218, and Uganda were bowled out for 39 by the West Indies in a T20I on 8 Jun 2024.
ODIs are the most common format here (28), followed by men’s T20Is (17), women’s T20Is (14) and a handful of Tests (3). The West Indies have just 15 wins from 36 men’s outings at home here, and New Zealand beat them by 6 wickets in the latest, an ODI on 16 Jul 2026.
Guyana Scoring Patterns: Low Totals, Close Chases
Runs are hard to come by. In ODIs the team setting a target averages 218 and the one replying 191; the latest ten openers average 204, a small dip. Yet chasing has worked about as often as defending, 14 wins to 13. The West Indies chased 309 against Pakistan in Apr 2017, the highest total at the ground, while 189 is as low as a winning first-innings total has gone.
In men’s T20Is, openers average 144 and replies just 114. Even so, chasing men’s sides lead 9 wins to 5. The top chase stands at 169, and teams have held on with as little as 138. Recent first innings, at 145 across the latest ten, have not moved.
The women’s T20Is, played in Nov 2018 and Nov 2019, went the other way: 10 wins for the side batting first, a second-innings average of 94, and a total of 50 defended.
Over 3 Tests the innings means are 287, 195, 213 and 238; oddly the last innings scores well, yet no team has completed a fourth-innings chase. Toss winners won 34 of the 58 decided games.
