The largest cricket stadium in the world will host the match that will decide the T20I series between India and New Zealand. Since its opening as the largest cricket stadium, Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium has hosted six Twenty20 matches. The Ahmedabad stadium, formerly known as the Motera Cricket Stadium, had a capacity of 49,000.

In 2021, India’s Test match against England served as the stadium’s first event. Following that, the ground hosted a five-match T20I series against England in 2021 and a three-match ODI series against West Indies in 2022. Motera Stadium hosted a lot of Tests and One-Day Internationals prior to the
renovation, but the only T20I game there was in 2012 between India and Pakistan.

There are five types of black soil and six types of red soil pitches at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The red soil pitches tend to dry quickly and favor spinners or slow bowlers, whereas the black soil pitches have better bounce. In five of the six T20Is that have been played at the venue, teams have scored more than 150. Three matches have been won by the chasing and defending teams, respectively.Weather report
On February 1, the skies above Ahmedabad will be clear, and the evening should be cool. The wicket is two-paced, so batsmen need to be on their guard. Since the ball would turn on a dry surface in this game, spinners will enjoy it. The side batting first in the NZ versus IND third T20I would require 180 runs or more on the board to have a good sense of reassurance.
