India vs West Indies, Pitch Report:
The Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram generally offers a balanced pitch for ODI cricket, with some early assistance for fast bowlers through movement with the new ball, while batters can score well after settling in. Spinners may become more effective during the middle overs as the surface slows, making shot selection and bowling variations important. The venue has hosted 2 ODIs, with an average first-innings score of around 247 runs, while India’s 390/5 against Sri Lanka is the highest ODI total recorded at the stadium. Overall, a first-innings score around 250–270 runs could provide a competitive platform for the India vs West Indies 1st ODI.
