India vs Australia Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report

This is the official pitch report by Ravi Shastri. Shastri says, "Pitch number five. Same wicket that was used for India vs Pakistan. It's different from that one because it's been left open for quite a long time. It looks very dry, not much rolling. Looks patchy especially in the areas where spinners will land the ball. I expect it to turn a bit. Dew is uncontrollable. If there's no dew, you could be in trouble. Batting first, getting runs on the board is premium. But India won't be too bothered either way.”

The playing pitch at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium is ideal for bowlers, since it accommodates both seamers and spinners effectively. Four matches have been played in the stadium so far, and three of them have been won by teams who chose to bat in the second innings and successfully chased down the target score.

Australia clashed with the defending champions England. England won the toss and decided to bowl first. They dismissed Australia for 286 runs in 49 overs. Batting second, England were bowled out for 253 runs in 48 overs. 

India played against Pakistan at the stadium, which was the most anticipated match of the tournament. Indian bowlers dismissed Pakistan for 191 runs in 41 overs and the batsmen successfully chased down the target in 30 overs and won by 7 wickets.  

How will the weather be in Ahmedabad? Will it Rain?

The weather in Ahmedabad, as predicted by Accuweather, will be sunny, with 330 C as the maximum temperature, and 200 C will be the minimum temperature. There is no possibility of precipitation in Ahmedabad on November 19.
