Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad holds the distinction of being the largest cricket ground globally. Renowned for its batter-friendly conditions, it creates an ideal setting for batters to thrive. Pacers can exploit the pitch, especially early on, benefiting from some turn and bounce. Additionally, spinners may find opportunities to extract turns from the surface.
Nevertheless, batting tends to become more comfortable as the game progresses, with Ahmedabad historically favouring teams chasing targets. Consequently, the toss-winning side is expected to choose to field first.
