MCA Stadium Stats and Records: The Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune will host it's first-ever World Cup match when hosts India faced Asian rivals Bangladesh in ICC World Cup 2023 on October 19.

Apart from India vs Bangladesh, the MCA International Stadium, one of the ten venues selected to host the matches in the ICC World Cup 2023, will host four more matches. Four matches, including the opener, will be day-night fixtures, while the final match will be a day game.

The other four matches scheduled to take place at the venue saw Afghanistan take on Sri Lanka followed by New Zealand vs South Africa. In the remaining two matches, England face Netherlands, and Bangladesh face Australia.

Nestled in a secluded area on the outskirts of Pune, the stadium hosted its first international game when India took on England in 2012 - it was granted Test status in 2016. Players and fans alike flock to the 42,700-capacity stadium for its ability to conjure huge scores.

While MCA Stadium hosts World Cup matches for the first time, the venue has staged 15 international matches and few IPL matches so far. MCA Stadium has played hosts to seven ODIs with the most recent before the World Cup being a 3-match series between India and England.

Overall, the teams batting first have had more joy than the teams chasing at the MCA Stadium, with the team defending a total winning four of the seven ODIs. But, in the last 3 ODIs, the team chasing has won 2 with five of the six innings seeing totals cross over 300.

In the 2023 World Cup, India defeated Bangladesh in the opener at the venue, where Afghanistan stunned Sri Lanka, while South Africa handed a thumping loss to New Zealand in the most recent match.
