Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch here is usually considered a paradise for the batsmen. A five -layer red soil ensures that the bounce is right and it is easy to kill the ball in any direction to the batsmen. However it is a curse for the spinner who often struggles on the pitch. The circumstances here are usually balanced. The boundary here is so long that batsmen have to put their shot at the right time to avoid getting out. Slow bowlers do not get much turn on this pitch.
Due to moisture here, the fast bowler enjoys the middle swing and bounce. In later stages, spinners dominate because the pitch deteriorates. In T20, more than 200 scores are made here. During the evening match, on -on the bowler, especially the spinner, bothers the spinner. The wet ball becomes slippery, which reduces the grip and control. The team winning the toss here chooses bowling first.
