Hardik Pandya’s return from a one-match suspension is set to bring crucial stability to the Mumbai Indians’ squad as they take on Gujarat Titans this Saturday. Both teams are eager to secure their first win of the IPL season after suffering defeats in their opening matches. Mumbai Indians’ struggles in season openers persisted with a four-wicket loss to Chennai Super Kings, while Gujarat Titans fell short by 11 runs against Punjab Kings in a high-scoring encounter. Ahead of the game, let us look at Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report.
Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch report
The batting-friendly pitch at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, which saw a total of 475 runs scored in the opening match, will provide much-needed relief for Mumbai’s batters after their struggle on the slow Chepauk surface. The boundary sizes measure 64m and 66m on the sides, and the pitch appears ideal for stroke play. The grass covering is unlikely to have a significant impact. A 200-plus total has been reached 10 times in 17 matches at this venue. With dew expected in the second innings, teams might prefer chasing.
