The sample size for the ground is small, with just 7 ODIs being played here. In these matches, the average first-inning score is 307, with the side batting first having an advantage, winning 4 of 7 matches.
The highest score posted here is 356/2 by India in 2017 against England. Conversely, the lowest total posted here is 232 by India in 2013 against Australia.
Because a match is being played here after 2 years, there is uncertainty regarding how the pitch will behave. However, after taking into account the high-scoring nature of the stadium, the side that wins the toss can elect to bat first, put runs on the board, and exert pressure on the chasing side.
A crunch clash can be expected today in Pune between India and Bangladesh.
