Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad Pitch report
Narendra Modi Stadium is considered one of the most intimidating venues in India because of its massive size and electrifying crowd atmosphere. In IPL 2026, the venue has generally favoured teams batting second, although the surface has offered a fair balance between bat and ball. The pitch provides assistance to pacers through lateral movement off the surface and also suits hit-the-deck bowlers. When dew comes into play during the second innings, chasing becomes significantly easier, giving an added advantage to the team batting second.
