IPL 2025: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad Pitch Report & Stats Ahead of GT vs SRH Match

Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report ahead of Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, 51st Match of IPL 2025

Gujarat Titans (GT) will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 51 of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 2. With both teams in the race for the playoffs, this evening clash under the lights could prove crucial in determining the final standings as the business end of the tournament approaches.

The Narendra Modi Stadium has been a run-fest this season, with five out of eight innings at the venue producing totals above 200. The average first innings score stands at 176, and the highest team total recorded is a massive 243.

While the overall record at the ground slightly favors chasing sides (21 wins vs. 18 batting first), a notable trend in IPL 2025 has seen teams batting first winning three of the four matches played here — highlighting the value of setting a daunting total.

The red-soil pitches have generally provided excellent bounce and carry, allowing batters to play through the line confidently. That, combined with quick outfields and relatively large square boundaries, has created the perfect conditions for high-scoring encounters. However, bowlers who can vary their pace and hit the deck hard may still find some success, especially under lights.

Given their familiarity with the venue and its batting-friendly nature, Gujarat Titans might hold a slender edge over Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, SRH’s explosive top order means this contest could swing either way — especially if they get to chase under favorable conditions.
