The surface of the Narendra Modi Stadium looks good for batting where we can expect a 200-plus total getting scored easily in the first innings. It also has a good bounce where the fast bowlers can get the movement. However, as the match progresses, the pitch tends to slow down which means that the spinners can make an impact. The average batting first score at this ground is around 170 runs. Out of these 37 IPL matches played at this ground, the team batting first won 17 times while the 20 matches have been won by the team batting second.
