IPL 2024 – Match 5: GT vs MI Pitch Report of Narendra Modi Stadium with Stats and Records

Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI) square off at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad in the 5 match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Both MI and GT have lifted the IPL trophy in the past and will be looking to repeat the feat this season.

Gujarat Titans, now led by a new captain in Shubman Gill, will be looking to make a solid start to this year’s IPL with a win against one of the tournament’s most successful sides. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians, who have seen a change in leadership from Rohit Sharma to Hardik Pandya, will be keen to show that the transition has gone smoothly with a solid performance in the tournament opener.

The Narendra Modi Stadium has a total of 11 pitches, including 5 black soil and 5 red soil pitches. The black dirt pitches are known to produce bouncy tracks that allow runs to be scored freely. Meanwhile, the red dirt pitches are known to dry out quickly and are more likely to help the spinners.

However, during the IPL, the Narendra Modi Stadium is known to be a high-scoring pitch with an average first innings total of over 170 runs. The odds of a team batting first or chasing are almost equal, so the toss shouldn’t be a big factor.

With both teams comprising some of the best power-hitters from the game’s T20 genre, one can expect a high-scoring cracker between the two sides.
