Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad Pitch Report

Ahmedabad Stadium ground has two types of pitches; black soil and red soil. The black soil helps fast bowlers in getting a good pace and bounce while red soil pitches generally help spinners and medium pacers who use variations. But curators in Ahmedabad usually create pace-friendly pitches which also help the batters. So, this is the reason pacers strike most of the wickets here while spinners rarely make an impact.

If we look at the recent T20 records report at Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad pitch, the team who batted first scored easily but the team who chased faced difficulties. So, a wise decision in IPL 2023 opening game will be to bat first and play with 1 spinner and 4 pacers.
