Pitch Report
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, home ground of the Gujarat Titans, is known for its batting-friendly conditions, often resulting in high-scoring matches. The venue features two distinct pitch types—red soil and black soil—each offering different playing characteristics.
Red soil pitches favor batsmen, providing good bounce and allowing for free stroke play.
Black soil pitches, on the other hand, offer more grip and variable bounce, which benefits bowlers, especially those who rely on pace variations and cutters.
