Cricket fans across the globe will be served with a blockbuster today, as Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants will take on each other in the 51st group-stage match of the ongoing Indian Premier League season. The iconic Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad will host this high-octane face-off. 

Both teams have enjoyed stellar success in the IPL this season. While Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans occupy the top position in the points table with seven victories, the Super Giants are placed third, winning five of their nine fixtures. 

The previous clash between these two teams saw the Titans pip the Super Giants in their backyard by a narrow margin. So, as LSG gear up to accomplish their revenge, let's see how the surface in Ahmedabad will behave during the course of the game. 


Ahmedabad Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has generally been conducive for the batters. The track has an even pace and bounce, making it ideal for stroke play. 

The average run rate at the venue reads 8.20, suggesting how good a track it has been for the batters. Furthermore, four of the five matches played here have been high-scoring, which is why we expect another run-fest, with two formidable batting lineups taking on each other. 

As the surface doesn't really slow down with time, whoever wins the toss will likely opt to field first.
