 Profile

The Nehru Stadium in Margao is not a regular venue for ODIs. It first staged a game in 1989-90 but between then and it hosting a match against England in 2005-06, it only held six ODIs in all, on eof which was abandoned without a ball being bowled. India have made only three appearances on the ground and have never won. It is located in the holiday hotspot of Goa, a former Portuguese colony.
