Is Narendra Modi Stadium batting or bowling pitch?
The Narendra Modi Stadium pitch has been favoring the batsmen this season, with an average first innings score of 186 and all three games being won by the chasing teams. This suggests that the pitch is more suitable for batting rather than bowling.
While there may be some assistance for the spinners, especially during the middle overs, the surface is generally expected to be flat and conducive for stroke-making. With this in mind, the upcoming match between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians is expected to be a high-scoring affair, with both teams looking to capitalize on the batting-friendly conditions.
