Rajkot
is
one
of
the
newest
cricketing
venues
in
India
as
its
foundation
stone
was
laid
in
2008
and
was
opened
to
matches
in
2013.
It
is
not
a
large
stadium
but
houses
some
of
the
modern
amenities
and
least
to
say
a
Lord’s
modelled
capsule
press
box.
It
has
some
unique
design
elements
too.
Here
we
are
offering
some
quick
facts
about
the
Rajkot
Stadium
ahead
of
the
India
vs
South
Africa
match
on
June
17
such
as
boundary
dimension,
pitch
and

Rajkot
Stadium
pitch
report
The
pitch
at
the
Saurashtra
Cricket
Association
Stadium,
Rajkot,
is
generally
a
flat
one.
The
lowest
T20I
score
here
is
153,
so
we
can
expect
a
rather
high-scoring
match
in
the
4th
T20I
and
a
total
around
180
would
be
a
minimum
prerequisite
here
to
put
pressure
on
opposition.
Rajkot
Weather
on
June
17
The
night
temperature
is
measured
around
32
degrees
celsius
and
right
now
there
is
no
rain
threat
to
the
match
unless
some
last
minute
change
in
the
westerlies.
