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

The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has mostly favoured the batters in the IPL this season. The average scoring rate reads 10.27, suggesting the track's conduciveness to batting. 

However, if the pitch contains a tinge of green, the fast bowlers might get a hint of seam movement in the initial overs. So, the batters should take a bit of time to get set and then capitalise on the even pace and bounce of the surface. 

The spinners haven't had a lot of success at this venue, managing only 30.85 per cent of the total wickets. Thus, batters and fast bowlers are expected to play crucial roles in the RCB vs PBKS IPL final. 

Teams batting first have won six out of eight IPL 2025 matches in Ahmedabad. Although the track doesn't really slow down with time, the toss-winner might opt to bat in the high-stakes affair.
