India vs Bangladesh Pitch Report
Pune’s Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium is renowned as a haven for batsmen. While the initial stages of a match might offer some assistance to pacers in terms of seam movement and swing, bowlers will need to maintain precision in their line and length to curb the ambitions of batters eager to exploit the track’s favorable batting conditions. It’s a common practice for teams that win the toss to opt for bowling first, and the stadium often witnesses first-inning totals averaging around 288 runs.
Over the course of seven ODIs held at this venue, the stadium has seen its share of notable performances. India, in particular, holds the record for the highest team score at the ground, when they amassed 356/7 against England in 2021. The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, has also left his mark on the Pune stadium, accumulating a remarkable tally of 448 runs from 7 innings, which includes 2 centuries and 3 half-centuries.
