Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad: Pitch report for GT vs MI IPL 2025

 

The Narendra Modi Stadium is renowned for its batting-friendly conditions, often leading to high-scoring encounters, which was evident in the first match of IPL 2025 at this venue. The pitch offers consistent bounce, and the average first-innings total typically approaches 200. While fast bowlers may find some assistance with early movement, the surface gradually slows down, making spinners more effective as the game progresses. The hard and dry track ensures a balanced contest between bat and ball. With clear skies in the forecast, an exciting match is on the cards. Although the pitch tends to slow in the latter stages, captains might still opt to chase, given the venue’s history of favouring teams batting second.
