Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has fields made of both black soil and red soil. For cricket matches, these fields offer a variety of features:

  1. Pitch Types: There are five red soil fields and six black soil pitches at the stadium.

  2. Black Soil Pitches: In general, black soil pitches provide favorable batting conditions. They are frequently flat and are known to favor batsmen in high-scoring games.

  3. Red Soil Pitches: On the other side, red dirt pitches typically seem to help bowlers more due to their unique composition and qualities. They present a little bit of a challenge for batsmen because of their varying bounce and spin.

  4. Pitch Favorability: The 22-yard surface at Narendra Modi Stadium typically favors batters because it frequently sees big scores and makes it easier for them to rack up runs.

Thus, depending on whether the game is played on a black soil or red soil pitch, the pitch conditions at Narendra Modi Stadium might change, although they frequently offer a good platform for batters to score runs.
