Mixed-Soil Pitch at Ahmedabad Set for India-New Zealand T20 World Cup Final

The pitch for the ICC T20 World Cup final between India and New Zealand at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium is set to be a mixed-soil surface combining red and black soil, offering good bounce and pace with a par score around 200. This choice follows India's past losses on slower, black-soil pitches at the same venue in the 2023 ODI World Cup final and the ongoing T20 World Cup. Officials and curators aim for a balanced, true surface to provide a fair contest, with both teams expressing readiness to adapt to conditions.
