Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Its recorded local start is 7:00 PM (13:30 UTC), so it is the city’s clearly timed international short-format fixture.

The second Bengaluru cricket event is Karnataka VS Saurashtra in the Ranji Trophy Elite at Alur Cricket Stadium.

Bengaluru cricket matchday planning: check the ground and timing

Planning around Bengaluru cricket matches starts with checking the exact venue and the first confirmed start, rather than treating every calendar date as a complete day plan. For India VS West Indies, the venue is M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, and the scheduled start is 7:00 PM local time on Saturday 17 October 2026. Use the official BCCI match centre to recheck the fixture before making arrangements, then open the Bengaluru T20I event page.

The other listed fixture is at Alur Cricket Stadium, Bengaluru, not M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Karnataka VS Saurashtra runs from 18–21 October 2026, but only the first start, 09:30 IST on 18 October, is confirmed; do not assume an exact finish or later session schedule. The BCCI match record is the useful timing check, and the event listing keeps the locality clear. Browse cricket events, Bengaluru events and sports events by city as directories, not as proof of admission, ticket stock, parking or venue services.
