Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report Ahead of Final
The Narendra Modi Stadium, the world’s largest cricket ground with a capacity of 132,000, is known for favoring spin bowling.
The pitch has historically seen an average run rate of just under 5 runs per over in ODIs, but recent IPL matches have shown a quicker track conducive to run-scoring.
The highest ODI score at the stadium was 365/2 by South Africa in 2010, with Jacques Kallis and AB de Villiers scoring centuries.
