Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is celebrated as the largest cricket ground in the world. Known for its batting-friendly pitch, it offers a favourable environment for batters to enjoy their time at the crease.
Pacers can find some assistance, particularly with the new ball, due to the pitch providing turn and a bit of bounce. Spinners may also discover a hint of turn off the surface.
However, batting typically becomes easier in the second half of the match. Ahmedabad has a tradition of being a chase-first venue, so the team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
