Pitch Report according to previous Records:

The pitch at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore is a high-scoring batting paradise featuring short boundaries and reliable, even bounce. The red/black soil surface offers consistent bounce and minimal lateral movement for pacers once the initial phase passes, allowing batters to play through the line freely.

Official Live Pitch Report:

Daren Ganga and Abhinav Mukund: In Madhya Pradesh at the Holkar Stadium, here for this third match of the five-match series between the West Indies and India. Now it's nice and warm as we get deeper into the night. It's the center pitch being used, and watch the boundary dimensions. Bowlers, look away, cover your eyes, cover your ears, because down the ground it's 72, square equidistance only 63, and behind the stumps 55 meters. So batters will enjoy this opportunity. Now I took a trip down memory lane and looked at previous T20 international matches at this venue. Only four, and guess what? The average first-innings score, 200. You say 200? You would expect a little more to come out of this surface with the dimensions in play. The pitch looks very, very good, very native to these conditions, and it looks very, very hard because when you have a look right here, that sound, that is a very, very good sound for batters indeed. Nicely rolled through the surface. There is a patch of grass, but that's more for binding this particular surface. Had a chat with the curator. He says you would expect some dew, even though they've sprayed some agent around the ground. There was dew day before yesterday, not too much yesterday, but you'd expect, of course, like the trend of this series, where all teams that have chased - the T20s and ODIs - all teams that have chased have won. You expect that trend to continue today. And it's the two best six-hitting teams in 2026, so expect fireworks.
