The Venue: Holkar Stadium, Indore – A Batter’s Paradise with Spin Twists
The Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore, with a 30,000 capacity, is a modern marvel known for flat pitches favoring high scores – think 400+ in men’s ODIs. Opened in 2003, it hosted India’s record 418/5 vs West Indies in 2011. Today’s track? Batting-friendly early, but spinners like Sophie Ecclestone and Alana King could grip later under lights. Average first innings: 280+ in women’s ODIs here. With no rain threats (60% chance earlier cleared), expect a full 100-over thriller.
