Grace Road, Leicester WCL Stats and Records

Grace Road in Leicester will host its fourth WCL 2025 match, featuring India Champions (IND-C) vs West Indies Champions (WI-C) at 9:00 PM on July 29, 2025, following the Australia Champions (AUS-C) vs Pakistan Champions (PAK-C) as Match 15 in a double-header. 

The venue’s pitch has demonstrated its even-handed character, as seen in the most recent game where Pakistan Champions, batting first, secured a 31-run victory over South Africa Champions. With only two WCL matches played at Grace Road so far, the results are split: one win for the team batting first and one for the team chasing. 

This balance shows the ground’s reputation for offering equal opportunities to batsmen and bowlers, making match outcomes unpredictable due to limited data. 

Below are the comprehensive Grace Road, Leicester WCL 2025 records and statistics in preparation for the highly anticipated IND-C vs WI-C clash, Match 15 of the tournament.

Pitch Report of Grace Road, Leicester, Ahead of ENGC vs SAC 

Grace Road in Leicester has proven to be a well-balanced venue during the WCL 2025 tournament, hosting two matches so far, with one victory for the team batting first and one for the team chasing. 

The pitch, primarily composed of natural grass and soil, is enhanced with synthetic fibers to improve drainage, ensuring consistent playability. Its nature varies depending on match conditions and stages: early overs often favor pacers with seam and swing due to a lively surface, while batters can dominate later as the pitch flattens. 

However, this isn’t a fixed pattern, as evidenced in the recent Pakistan Champions (PAK-C) vs South Africa Champions (SA-C) match, where South Africa fell short chasing Pakistan’s formidable 198. Grace Road’s expansive boundaries, among the largest in the tournament, challenge batters to work harder for runs. The average innings score at the venue has ranged between 160 and 170, setting the stage for a competitive India Champions (IND-C) vs West Indies Champions (WI-C) clash in Match 15 on July 29, 2025.
