The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has hosted a total of 26 ODIs, 15 Test matches, and 7 T20Is. The pitch at the stadium, also known as Motera, has historically played quite slow, assisting spin bowling. The average scoring rate over the years in ODIs has been a touch under 5 runs per over. However, in recent years, particularly during the IPL, the track has been quicker and has aided run-scoring. There is still something there for the spinners, but high totals are quite possible here. The pitch conditions are supposed to aid both batters and bowlers. Red soil pitches offer bounce and spin, while black ones tend to stay a bit low but dont offer much turn. The one with the mixture of both is expected to be even. The black soil pitches are known to produce more bounce, allowing free run-scoring opportunities. Red soil pitches, on the other hand, are known to dry up soon and assist the slower bowlers or spinners as the match progresses. The one used in the opening game of the World Cup 2023 remained good for batting for the most part of the match.
