Emirates Old Trafford Manchester ODI records: Old Trafford cricket ground ODI records and highest innings total

Emirates Old Trafford Manchester ODI records: Old Trafford will be hosting its second ODI in the last one week.

The second ODI of the ongoing South Africa’s tour of England will be played in Manchester tomorrow. A second day-night fixture in a row will give England and South Africa an opportunity to make a comeback and gain an unassailable lead in this three-match series respectively.

Old Trafford, which had last hosted an ODI as recent as Sunday, will be hosting its second ODI in the last one week. Although the hosts had ended up on the losing side against India this week, they have had a brilliant record in Manchester ODIs – winning 27 and losing 15 out of 43 ODIs in the last five decades.

While the sample size is quite small for the Proteas, it is noteworthy that even the visitors have done well at this venue by winning three and losing one out of their four ODIs at Old Trafford. Having last defeated Australia during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 here, South Africa would be eager to force a similar result against England as well on Friday.
