Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad Pitch Report
The Pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium provides fair assistance to the bowlers. However, if the batsmen tackle out the initial overs, it might turn easy for them to play their shots. The bigger dimensions of the ground leave large gaps on the field which makes it easier to pick up singles and doubles.
The pitch here naturally offers spin as the game progresses. It would be interesting to see the bowling combination with which the Indian side plays here. Notably, dew has played an important part in the D/N matches in Ahmedabad.
Ahmedabad Weather during IND vs WI series
With no chances of rain, the skies will remain clear and sunny over Ahmedabad during the next week. Light winds might blow.
