Ahmedabad Challenge

India have an excellent record at the Narendra Modi Stadium, having won seven of their nine T20I matches played here. In their most recent match against South Africa at this venue in December 2025, India scored a mammoth score of 231/5 with the help of Hardik Pandya’s record-breaking fifty in 16 balls.

However, South Africa remains a dangerous threat in these circumstances. Despite losing their previous match in Ahmedabad, they recently became the first team to defeat India in 13 T20Is, the most by any opposition in the format. Their pace attack comprising Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada will look to take advantage of the bounce provided by the Ahmedabad pitch, which has always been a “batting belter” after the initial movement with the new ball is reduced.
