Vadodara Cricket Stadiums Pitch Report and ODI Records
Covers 13 international matches at this ground from Nov 2005 to Jan 2026.
This Vadodara cricket stadiums pitch report rests on 13 ODIs played in the Gujarat city between Nov 2005 and Jan 2026, five by men and eight by women. The latest, on 11 Jan 2026, saw India chase New Zealand’s 300/8 and win by 4 wickets.
The data folds the city’s grounds into a single Vadodara Cricket Stadiums entry, so the tables below treat every game here as one set. There are no Tests or T20Is in it.
What the Vadodara Scores Say: Batting First or Chasing?
Men’s one-dayers here have favoured the side batting second. Four of the 5 went to the chasers, and scores hardly drop after the break: the opening innings comes to 242 on average and the reply to 243. India’s 306/6 to beat New Zealand in Jan 2026 tops the list of chases, while the lowest score defended is Australia’s 292/8 in Oct 2009.
The women’s games tell a different story. Results are split four apiece, yet the second innings averages only 187 against 235 for the first. India Women defended as little as 146, and the best chase is 248, by India against South Africa in Oct 2019.
The toss winner went on to win 6 of 13, fewer than half. India’s men are 3-2 here, with both defeats against Australia. See the India vs New Zealand head to head for that rivalry.
