GT vs SRH, Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report
SRH vs GT Match Pitch Report: For the 56th match of IPL 2026 between GT and SRH, the pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium offers a balanced contest, although recent trends have leaned more in favor of the bowlers. Recent matches played here have witnessed lower scores—such as 155 and 163—primarily because the pitch offers grip, and as the ball ages, it generates seam movement and extra bounce.
Fast bowlers find assistance from the seam movement and bounce, particularly during the middle overs, when playing big shots becomes a risky proposition. In night matches, dew remains a significant factor; it makes batting easier in the second innings and gives an advantage to the team chasing the target.
Given the impact of the dew, captains are likely to opt to bowl first. This aligns with recent IPL 2026 matches played at this venue, where teams chasing the target have won the majority of the games. Historically, out of the 49 IPL matches played here, the team batting second has won 25 times, while the average first-innings score has stood at 178. Although the average score at this venue typically ranges between 180 and 200, recent pitch conditions suggest that even lower scores can be successfully defended.
