At Thiruvananthapuram's Greenfield International Stadium, pacers may get early help, but set batters can score freely; evening dew could aid the chase for Sunday's first India-West Indies ODI. Across two ODIs, the first-innings average is 247; 280-300 is considered competitive.
Spinners generally come into play in the middle overs to restrict scoring. Greenfield has hosted only two ODIs: West Indies were bowled out for 104 in November 2018, while India scored 390 for 5 against Sri Lanka in January 2023 and won by 317 runs. Sri Lanka's 73 all out in 22 overs in that match is the venue's lowest ODI total.
Virat Kohli's unbeaten 166 is the venue's highest individual ODI score, and Mohammed Siraj's 4 for 32 are its best bowling figures. Kohli has the most runs, 199 across two matches; Shubman Gill is next with 116 in one appearance. Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja share the wicket record with four each; Jadeja's came across two appearances, including 4 for 34 against West Indies in 2018.
