India vs South Africa 2022: Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram Pitch Report
Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram will host the first match of the three-T20I series between India and South Africa. The ground so far has hosted only two T20Is and therefore not much can be assessed about how the pitch will play.
Out of two games, one match each has been won by defending and chasing side. The average first and second innings score at the venue is 118 and 117 respectively, which suggests that it’s a low-scoring ground and batting isn’t easy at the surface.
