The beautiful city of Thiruvananthapuram will host 3 matches of the 10 warm-up fixtures of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. There is no league game scheduled at the venue considering the frequent rainfall occurrence in the city. Here is the Greenfield International Stadium Thiruvananthapuram Pitch Report and Weather Forecast.
Out of the three World Cup warm-up matches in Thiruvananthapuram 2 games have already seen rain interruption. Lately, the first Warm-up game between the Netherlands and Australia got delayed on Saturday.
The Scenic Stadium has a picturesque setting but the weather has always been an issue in the capital city of Kerala. However, the drainage system of Greenfield Stadium has made it possible for the fans to see full action the majority of the time when rain intervenes in the play.
The stadium was inaugurated in 2017 when India and New Zealand faced each other in the T20 International. Since then no game has been washed out on this venue thanks to the groundsmen and drainage system of this ground.
The Greenfield Stadium will host three warm-up matches in the tournament between Australia-Netherlands, New Zealand-South Africa and India-Netherlands.
