Pitch Report

The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad offers a batting-friendly surface. The outfield is quick, allowing batters to score freely, and the venue has witnessed several high-scoring encounters in the past. Notably, all six matches played here in this tournament have seen first-innings totals of 175 runs or more. However, bowlers may find some early movement in the initial overs, so batters need to focus on the ball in the first few overs. The captain winning the toss is likely to opt to bowl first.
