The track in Ahmedabad has been brilliant for batting so far in the tournament. A red soil pitch was used in the last match and it is well-known that there is a good amount of bounce on it. The batters will love the ball coming on their bat. In the initial overs, the pacers can generate some movement.
A total of three IPL 2023 matches have been played here so far where the average first innings score has been 186 runs. Despite such a good score, all three matches have been won by the chasing teams. This stat makes it clear that we can expect yet another high-scoring encounter this time around.
