The weather conditions may also play a role, as 62% rainfall is likely during the match. However, there is a reserve day in the final, making sure that the game can be completed even when the rain play.
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is set to host the IPL 2025 final between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS). The pitch at this venue has historically favored batters, making it a high-scoring ground. The surface consists of both red soil and black soil, which influences the bounce and pace of the ball. The red-soil pitch provides extra bounce, allowing stroke-makers to play freely, while the black-soil pitch tends to slow down as the match progresses, assisting spinners.
Narendra Modi Stadium pitch report
The average first-innings score at this stadium is 177, indicating that teams batting first often aim for totals above 180 to stay competitive. In IPL 2025, the venue has witnessed multiple 200+ scores, with PBKS successfully chasing down 204 in Qualifier 2 against Mumbai Indians. This suggests that the pitch remains favorable for chasing teams, especially under lights when dew plays a role.
Seamers can expect some movement with the new ball, but as the match progresses, batting becomes easier. Spinners, particularly wrist spinners, have found success here due to the grip offered by the surface. The toss-winning captain may prefer to bowl first, considering the advantage of chasing under dewy conditions.
