Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground

The Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur stands as Nepal's premier cricket venue, serving as the home ground for the national team since its establishment. Named after Nepal's beloved King Tribhuvan, this ground has become the centerpiece of Nepalese cricket development and international competition. The venue has hosted 10 international matches, comprising 6 ODIs and 4 T20Is, establishing itself as a competitive but balanced playing surface. In ODI cricket, the ground has produced an average first innings score of 193.33, with teams batting first winning exactly half their matches. Similarly, T20I encounters have seen first innings averages of 152.50, again with a perfectly balanced 50% success rate for teams winning the toss and choosing to bat. The pitch characteristics suggest a fair contest between bat and ball, offering enough assistance to bowlers while allowing batsmen to score freely once set. The even win-loss record for teams batting first indicates that conditions remain consistent throughout matches, with minimal advantage gained from winning the toss. Set against the backdrop of Kirtipur's historic landscape, the ground creates an intimate atmosphere where passionate Nepalese supporters can witness their team compete against international opposition. The venue represents Nepal's growing cricket ambitions and has become a symbol of the sport's expansion in the Himalayan nation, providing a crucial platform for developing local talent and hosting visiting teams.
