New Zealand Vs South Africa, ICC T20 World Cup 2026: Pitch Report

The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium has played batting friendly till now. The two matches played at the venue during the ongoing T20 World Cup have been high-scoring and has allowed batters to take the aerial route, specially down the ground. Square boundaries are big and bowlers can use that to their advantage.

The nature of the wicket will depend on the red-soil or the back-soil pitch, which is on offer. The red-soil pitch offers more pace and bounce, favoring both fast bowlers early on and spinners once the surface begins to wear. The black-soil surface tends to be flatter and slower, retaining moisture longer. It generally favors batters and provides a consistent bounce for stroke-making.
