Pitch Report

Pitch Report: The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has proven to be a favorable ground for teams batting first, with six out of ten T20I matches being won by the side that batted first. The average first-innings score at this venue is 160, with India’s record-breaking total of 234/4 against New Zealand being the highest ever.

In T20Is held at this stadium, chasing teams have struggled to surpass a total of 166, making it a challenging task to chase down a score.

As a result, winning the toss and electing to bat first could be a smart decision for the team’s skipper, who would want to put up a massive total and put the pressure on their opponents from the start.
