Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram Pitch Report

A single permanent pitch label would be misleading. International scorecards show very different outcomes depending on the surface, weather and format.

• 2018 ODI: movement, bounce and spin contributed to West Indies being dismissed for 104.
• 2022 T20I: India’s seamers exploited pronounced early movement as South Africa fell to 9/5.
• 2023 ODI: India made 390/5, showing that good batting conditions can also develop.

PitchVaani read: expect possible new-ball assistance in humid conditions, but recheck the prepared strip and weather on match day.
