Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad offers a great balance between batting and bowling, with spinners having an advantage. Fast bowlers will need to be accurate to avoid being punished by the batters. Spinners will find some assistance from the pitch, especially when the sun is shining. However, as the match progresses and dew sets in, batting becomes easier and batters can play their shots freely.
