Venue Description:

Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium

Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium: A land of 30 acres was sanctioned in 2004 near the Jamnagar highway to build this state-of-the-art cricket stadium. The construction began in 2006 and almost 75 crores was spent. The media box at the venue resembles the one at Lord’s and also for the spectators to move freely, there are several aisles between the seats. It also caters as a sporting complex to various other sports like badminton, volleyball, and basketball.

There are also two grounds for cricket. One is the main ground which started hosting first-class matches in 2009 and is 90 metres. The other, which is right beside, is 70 meters long and is mainly used for district games. The stadium plays host to Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) along with the Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Ground.

The venue holds together more than 60 hospitality boxes, but the SCA is against selling the tickets to corporates and only give them during an international game.

How does the pitch play?

Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium: The Ranji home team players Cheteshwar Pujara and Ravindra Jadeja scored triple hundreds on this ground. That should give a fair indication as to what type of wicket we can expect here – it is of course batsmen-friendly. In the two international matches played at this venue, both were high-scoring encounters. First was an ODI between England and India – the visitors scored 325 and the hosts fell short by 9 runs.

The other game played here was a T20I involving Australia and India. The Aussies riding on the back of Aaron Finch’s 89 set a target of 202. Yuvraj Singh won the game for India with two balls to spare, with his quickfire unbeaten 35-ball 77.
