The previous Motera Stadium hosted a total of 23 ODIs which also included the quarter-final match between Australia and India in the 2011 World Cup. The track was known to be favouring the spinners as not many high scores were registered at the ground. However, the stadium is reconstructed and it will be interesting to see how the track behaves.
