Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad Pitch Report
The Narendra Modi Stadium offers excellent conditions for batters, allowing them to score freely. Its large dimensions make it easier for batters to find gaps and accumulate runs without much restriction. Bowlers, however, need to maintain disciplined lines and lengths, as any loose deliveries are likely to be punished and can result in big scoring opportunities.
