The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has earned a reputation for hosting some thrilling high-scoring encounters in the Indian Premier League (IPL) over the years. With a seating capacity of approximately 1 lakh spectators, it stands as one of the largest cricket stadiums in the world.
With the IPL 2025 final featuring the Punjab Kings who now need 191 runs on the night to be crowned as champions for the first time, their opponents Royal Challengers Bengaluru are 15-20 runs short of an above par total and would have to be tight with their bowling in order to defend the total.
Known for its fast-paced matches, the stadium has witnessed several intense chases that have kept fans at the edge of their seats. Mumbai Indians have set a 204-run target in the IPL 2025 Qualifier 2 clash against Punjab Kings, a challenging total for Shreyas Iyer's side to chase down which if they do, will earn them a place in the final against RCB this season. It will also become the 3rd highest run chase on the ground.
