Pitch Report

The surface at the Narendra Modi Stadium is widely regarded as batting-friendly. The quick outfield further benefits batters, enabling them to score boundaries with relative ease. In this tournament, all five matches played at this venue have witnessed first-innings totals of 175 or more, underlining its high-scoring nature.
