Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is expected to offer a batting-friendly pitch for the India vs New Zealand ODI series opener. The pitch has historically been known to assist batters, with good bounce and carry. However, the exact nature of the pitch will depend on the amount of rain that falls in the lead-up to the match. If the pitch is prepared well and there is no rain, we can expect to see high-scoring encounters throughout the series.
