There is going to be a very exciting match in the Super-8 stage of the ICC T20 World Cup, where the South African team, which has been undefeated in the tournament so far, will face the explosive batsmen of West Indies. This match will be played at the prestigious Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, whose pitch has always been the center of discussion. Before this big match, it is important to know whether the pitch here will support the batsmen or the bowlers.

How will the Ahmedabad pitch play?

The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium has always been considered by cricket experts to be a balanced wicket. Here a good competition is seen between bat and ball. At the start of the match, the new ball may give the fast bowlers good bounce and movement from the surface, which could make the first few overs challenging for the openers.

However, as the game progresses and the ball gets older, spin bowlers also become effective. Batsmen can play their shots easily by taking advantage of the bounce present on the pitch. Once the sights are set, it is not difficult to make big scores here, which is why many high-scoring matches have also been seen on this ground.

Statistics indicate batting first

If we look at the statistics of T20 international matches on this ground, the picture becomes clear to a great extent. total here so far 16 T20 matches 11 of which have been played, the team batting first has won. At the same time, the team chasing the target has been successful only 5 times.

Average score of first innings approx 174 runs Which shows that batting first after winning the toss can be a profitable decision. Putting up a big total on the scoreboard in a big and pressure-filled match can give any team a psychological edge.

Who has the upper hand?

This match will be an interesting battle between the aggressive batting of West Indies and the disciplined bowling of South Africa. West Indies have power-hitters who can turn a match in a few overs, while South Africa’s bowlers have performed brilliantly throughout the tournament. In such a situation, whichever team understands the conditions and pitch of Ahmedabad better, will win.
