Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad Pitch Report

The surface of the Ahmedabad stadium may be of varying nature depending upon the pitch that is used for the match. The Narendra Modi Stadium has five black soil pitches and six red soil pitches. The black soil surface offers assistance to the fast bowlers as it provides a good bounce and movement in the initial overs.

However, the red soil pitches tend to dry off sooner and assist the spinners. The spinners have had a good run in the venue as far as the past matches are concerned. The batters usually find it tough to get going here. The venue has seen some low-scoring games as well. The bigger boundaries in the stadium also add to the problems of batters here.
