Ahmedabad’s Pitch Holds the Key in India-Australia Clash
Cricket enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 final clash between India and Australia at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad this Sunday. The venue, having hosted four tournament matches, including the opener, has proven to be less conducive to high run-scoring, with Australia’s 286 being the highest total.
Interestingly, three out of the four matches at the stadium in this World Cup have been won by the chasing teams. However, historical data reveals a balanced scenario, with 15 wins each for teams batting first and those chasing in the 30 ODIs held at the venue. In the last 10 matches, a slight advantage leans towards teams batting second, securing victory in six of those encounters.
As the excitement builds for the final showdown, reports suggest that the match will be played on the same black soil pitch used in the league-stage clash between India and Pakistan. During that encounter, the Men in Blue effortlessly chased down Pakistan’s 192-run target with seven wickets in hand and almost 20 overs to spare.
For fans looking forward to the grand finale, keeping an eye on the weather in Ahmedabad is crucial. Stay updated on the current weather conditions and forecast for the match day at
