The Raipur stadium pitch report, for the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, rests on only 4 internationals so far, two ODIs and two T20Is played in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, between Jan 2023 and Jan 2026, plus 8 IPL games.
South Africa chased 362/6 here on 3 Dec 2025, and India knocked off 209/3 in 15.2 overs against New Zealand on 23 Jan 2026. India played in all 4 at the Raipur cricket stadium and lost only once.
Raipur Pitch Report: Scores, Chasing and the Toss
Chasing has been the safer route so far. Both ODIs went to the side batting second, and the two T20Is split one each. Every captain who won the toss chose to field, all 4 of them, and three of those four ended on the winning side.
The ODI averages sit close together: 233 first up, 236 second up. On 21 Jan 2023 New Zealand were all out for 108 and India reached 111/2 in 20.1 overs. Nearly three years later, India posted 358/5 and still lost, as South Africa got to 362/6 with four balls to spare.
Over 20 overs, sides setting a target have averaged 191 and chasers 182. India defended 174/9 against Australia on 1 Dec 2023. Four matches give early signs, not settled trends.
