Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report
The Narendra Modi Stadium has been providing excellent batting conditions, although the surfaces have become a bit slick as the season has progressed. Red clay wickets generally provide good pace and bounce early on, allowing fast bowlers to gain movement with the new ball. However, once the batsman settles down, it becomes quite easy to make strokes under lights.
A major factor affecting the game is dew during the second innings. Teams chasing the target have found success at this venue as it becomes difficult for the bowlers to catch the ball late at night. While the spinners may still get some help in the middle overs, anything below 180 may prove difficult to defend on this surface.
