Pitch Report of Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
A spin-dominating venue where New Zealand and UAE spinners will aim to dominate the game with their turn and variations.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Pitch Behaviour | The wicket is firm and dry with consistent bounce. It usually supports batters early on, but spinners start getting some turn from the surface. |
| Batting Assistance | The ball comes nicely onto the bat in the first 10 overs, offering good bounce and carry. Shot-making becomes easier as there is very little sideways movement. |
| Bowling Assistance | Fast bowlers can extract bounce at the start. During the middle overs, spin bowlers play a key role as the pitch provides slight turn and grip. |
| Boundaries Dimensions | The square boundaries measure roughly 73 metres, while the straight boundaries extend to about 83 metres. |
| Average 1st Innings Score | In T20 matches at this venue, the typical first-innings total is around 205 runs. |
