Pitch Report: Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is the planned venue for the game. It has become a flat wicket over time. Nonetheless, the surface has been slow and advantageous for the bowlers this season. The hitters have not been able to score runs quickly enough. The bowlers’ ability to bowl in good line and length is crucial. The hitters must utilize every powerplay over during the inning. Match may be affected by the dew factor.
