Pitch Report – Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
Pitch Parameter
Details
Pitch Type
Batting-friendly; red soil delivers true bounce and a fast outfield; surface flattens significantly after the powerplay
Avg 1st Innings Score (IPL 2026)
178–195 runs; high-scoring contests are the norm at this venue
Toss Decision
Bowling first increasingly preferred; chasing teams have won 3 of the last 5 matches at this venue as dew arrives under lights
Pace Assist
Good in the powerplay with new-ball swing and bounce; eases considerably once the pitch settles from Over 7 onwards
Spin Assist
Moderate in middle overs; Rashid Khan-style variations find grip as the surface dries; dew reduces spin effectiveness post the 14th over
Dew Effect
Significant from the 10th over; slippery ball limits late movement and bowler control, benefiting the batting side in the chase
