Narendra Modi Stadium during the 2023 World Cup (x.com)
Ashes rivals Australia and England are set to collide at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad for match number 36 of the ongoing 2023 World Cup. Both sides have endured contrasting campaigns thus far into the tournament, considering Australia is currently on a four-match winning streak while the defending champions will be aiming to break their four-match winless run when they field at the iconic venue.
Even though Australia will start as clear favourites in the contest, England will be banking on their experience of playing their tournament opener in Ahmedabad.
As the venue braces itself to host the much-anticipated Australia and England World Cup 2023 showdown, let us look at the overall ground stats of the stadium in ODI cricket.
