Greenfield Stadium Pitch Report & Records
Compare men’s ODI and T20I scores, batting records, bowling figures, chases and match evidence at Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram.
Greenfield Stadium pitch report evidence is mixed rather than one-dimensional. The ground has staged a 390/5 ODI, a 271/5 T20I, a 104 all-out ODI and a T20I in which South Africa slipped to 9/5. These Greenfield Stadium records cover completed men’s internationals through 31 January 2026. The India–West Indies ODI scheduled for 27 September 2026 was not complete at the verification cut-off, so its live figures are not folded into the record tables.

Greenfield Stadium Pitch Report
New ball: Early seam and bounce can matter when grass and moisture remain. West Indies fell to 2/2 in the 2018 ODI, while South Africa collapsed to 9/5 in the 2022 T20I.
Once set: Batting can become highly productive. India reached 390/5 in an ODI, 235/4 against Australia and 271/5 against New Zealand in T20Is.
Spin and changes of pace: Jadeja’s 4/34 and wicket-taking spells from wrist-spinners and slower-ball bowlers show that control through the middle overs remains important.
Weather and dew: Thiruvananthapuram rain, humidity and evening moisture can change preparation, grip and chasing conditions. Check the selected strip and event-day forecast instead of assuming a fixed surface.
| Sample | First-innings average | How to read it |

| Full-length T20Is | 195.5 | Four 20-over first innings: 170, 106, 235 and 271. The eight-over 2017 game is excluded. |
