Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report
So far, we have seen bowlers having an underwhelming tournament. Batters have dominated the proceedings in most the games. However, the Narendra Modi Stadium is likely to provide a perfect balanced wicket for the IND vs PAK encounter. Pace bowlers will get extra swing and bounce early on, while spinners will also play a part in the middle overs. However, batters will also find value for their shots. In short, a perfect encounter awaits for the fans.
We witnessed something similar in ENG vs NZ match. England put on a 282/9 which New Zealand chased down with 9 wickets in hand. Dew will play a factor in the game, and team winning the toss will be tempted to chase on this surface. A total 29 ODIs have been played so far on this stadium. Team batting 1st have won 16 game, while team batting 2nd have emerged victorious 13 times.
