Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Conditions and Stats

The pitch conditions at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad vary differently in both ODI innings.

In contrast, the ball comes onto the bat easily, and the dew factor plays an effective role in the evening. Although the pitch offers pacers a decent amount of bounce under the lights, the surface becomes batter-friendly in the second innings.

The following are the intriguing stats obtained out of the 36 ODIs played at this venue:

At the same time, Jos Buttler and his men would strive to make a stunning comeback to avoid facing a humiliating defeat.

With less than a week time left for the Champions Trophy 2025 to commence, both teams strive to prove their mettle by concluding the series on a positive note.
