Cuttack stadium T20 records: Barabati Stadium Cuttack T20 stats and highest innings total

Cuttack stadium T20 records: Barabati Stadium will be hosting an international match after almost 30 months.

The second T20I of the ongoing South Africa’s tour of India will be played in Cuttack tomorrow. Another night fixture, players would be relieved to be playing in temperature with a less than 10-degree difference than what it was during the first T20I in Delhi.

Set to become only the third T20I to be played at the Barabati Stadium, it will be its first international match in almost 30 months. As far as hosting an international match of the shortest format is concerned, Cuttack will be hosting one after almost 54 months.

India, who have played both the previous T20Is here, have won and lost once each. While their victory had come against Sri Lanka, their loss had come against South Africa in the inaugural Cuttack T20I. Having lost the first T20I, the home team would be desperate to make amends with respect to both in the series and at this venue against South Africa.
