Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad pitch report
There are eleven pitches at the Narendra Modi Stadium: five made of black soil, five built of a combination of three types of soil, and one made of a combination of two types of soil. It is thought that black soil pitches have more bounce, which makes it easier to score free runs.
However, as the match goes on, red soil surfaces are known to dry up quickly, which helps the slower bowlers or spinners. The one that combines the two is anticipated to be equal.
