Narendra Modi Stadium: Pitch report
The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium has been on a slower side, offering assistance to spinners, with ODI scoring rates typically just below five runs per over. However, in recent years, especially during the Indian Premier League (IPL), the surface has seen increase in pace, making it more easy for run-scoring. However, spinners can still expect some assistance, fans can look forward to a more dynamic and high-scoring encounter between India and England in the third ODI on Wednesday.

Although a high-scoring game is on the cards in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, the venue has traditionally seen low-scoring matches. The average first-innings total at the Narendra Modi Stadium stands at just 237, which is below the par score in today’s cricket. This trend suggests that, despite recent changes to the pitch, both teams may need to adapt their strategies to account for the venue’s historical tendencies.

India has a mixed record at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, having played 20 ODI matches at the venue. Out of which, they have won 11 and lost nine, including their defeat to Australia in the 2023 World Cup final. While India has had some notable successes at the stadium, the loss in the World Cup final serves as a reminder of the challenges they have faced here in high-pressure situations.

England will be playing their first-ever ODI match against India at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. However, they do have some experience at the venue, having played four matches in total. Out of these, England has won three and lost one, which gives them a solid track record at the ground. Their previous success in Ahmedabad will give them confidence as they face India in this crucial encounter.
