Pitch Report

The wicket in Ahmedabad could be a balanced one with some purchase for the fast bowlers. The first few overs with the new ball could be key for the bowling side, as it could be easy for the batters to score runs once they settle down. Ahmedabad has about 11 pitches - six red soil ones and five made up of black soil. The black soil pitches used in India are usually on the slower side. The tracks at this venue in this IPL have been a touch tacky with tall pace bowlers extracting tennis ball bounce.
