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, including the previous match where both teams crossed the 175-run mark. However, fast bowlers may extract some early movement with the new ball. Considering the conditions, the captain winning the toss is likely to opt to bowl first.
