Is Narendra Modi Stadium's Pitch batting or bowling friendly?

The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has been batting-friendly in IPL 2025, as evidenced by the average scoring rate of 10.18 at this venue. The fast bowlers might not get significant help with the new ball, while the batters will likely capitalise on the field restrictions in the initial phase of the game. 

However, the track could be slightly dry due to the heatwave in Ahmedabad. If that's the case, expect the spinners to get some turn in the middle overs. Although the pitch doesn't really change its behaviour with time, the toss-winning side might opt to bat, considering the chasing teams have lost four out of five matches in Ahmedabad this season.
