Pitch Report: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is generally considered a batting-friendly venue, offering a well-balanced surface for both batters and bowlers. The pitch typically provides consistent bounce, allowing the ball to come onto the bat nicely. That said, bowlers are not entirely out of the contest. Fast bowlers can extract some lateral movement, particularly with the new ball, while also benefiting from hit-the-deck lengths due to the surface’s firmness. As the game progresses, spinners may find a bit of grip and turn.
