Pitch Report

The surface at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is traditionally batting-friendly, complemented by a quick outfield that rewards stroke play. The venue has witnessed several high-scoring encounters in the past. However, fast bowlers may extract some early movement with the new ball, making the initial overs crucial for the batters. Considering the conditions, the captain winning the toss is likely to opt to bowl first.
