Fans are eagerly waiting for the 5th match of the 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), in which the Gujarat Titans team will face Mumbai Indians. This season, both the teams will play under the leadership of a new captain, in which Young player Shubman Gill will be captaining the Gujarat team, while Hardik Pandya will be captaining the Mumbai Indians team in place of Rohit Sharma. This match between the two teams will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where the captains of both teams know the pitch very well. When both the teams met on this ground in the qualifier match played last season, a brilliant century inning was seen from the bat of Shubman Gill.
So far the dominance of the batsmen has been seen
If we talk about the pitch of this match played between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians at Narendra Modi Stadium, the dominance of the batsmen has been seen in the matches played here in the history of IPL. Both the teams have very explosive players in the batting order, due to which this high-scoring match can be seen. On the pitch here, it is not easy for the spin bowlers to stop the runs, while the fast bowlers get a little bounce, due to which they can trouble the batsmen. In such a situation, the role of tossing is going to be very important, in which the team winning can decide to bowl first.
Such was the record in 27 matches so far at Narendra Modi Stadium.
So far, 27 matches have been played in the IPL history at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, in which the team batting first has won 13 times, while the team chasing the target has won 14 matches. Here the average score of the first innings has been seen between 170 to 180 runs. Gujarat Titans have played 10 matches so far in this stadium, out of which they have won 6, while they have faced defeat in 4.
