Narendra Modi Stadium’s Pitch Report

The surface is hard and the bounce is likely to stay even. However, it might be slightly dual-pace and the ball might stop on the batters. The spinners will get some turn off the surface, while the pacers would outfox the batters with pace variations. The batting might get easier during the second innings if the dew comes into play.

Is Narendra Modi Stadium a batting or a bowling pitch?

It is a sporting surface with something in it for everyone. There are plenty of runs available for the batters but it is not so easy to bat on. The bowlers will also get some help here.
