Nagpur T20 Records

The Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium has hosted 11 T20 Internationals so far, out of which 8 have been won while batting first and only 3 have been won while chasing. Hence, it is clear that the teams defending a total have a slight edge over the teams chasing a total here at Nagpur.

Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium Nagpur Pitch Report

The pitch at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium Nagpur is a balanced surface where both batters and bowlers find assistance. A fresh Vidarbha Pitch aids the batters and they hence tend to post big totals on the board in the first innings. However, as the match progresses, the pitch turns towards the slower side and the batters find it a bit difficult to score runs. The records of the stadium as well suggest that the teams chasing a total have had tough times. It would hence be wise to bat first after winning the toss at Nagpur.
