Pune Pitch Report: High-scoring affair expected in IND vs BAN clash

The Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium traditionally offers a batting-friendly surface.

Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium Pitch Report: After battering their arch-rivals Pakistan, India will take on their other neighbours Bangladesh in the 17th match of the ODI World Cup 2023 on October 19 in Pune. The Men in Blue are on a great run, winning all three of their encounters. Meanwhile, the Bangla Tigers are on the back of consecutive losses and will look to bounce back. Ahead of the IND vs BAN match, check out a detailed pitch report for the MCA Stadium.

Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium: Pitch Report

The MCA Stadium is considered to be a batting heaven. The pitch remains great for batters throughout the match and allows them to hit the ball through its line.

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.
