First two matches of the series are already won by India and a win in the last game will mean a whitewash of England in the ODI series. The Narendra Modi Stadium is known for its high scoring pitches in the white ball format. We can see an even contest between India and England’s power-hitters in this match.
IND vs ENG 3rd ODI- Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report
Earlier, this stadium was known as Motera. However, later, it was renamed after India’s current Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. The pitch here has traditionally been considered slow, favouring spinners. But along with the name change, the nature of the pitch has also evolved. In recent matches, this ground has witnessed high-scoring games. The IPL has seen a flurry of runs on this pitch.
So, if another run-fest happens here, it wouldn’t be surprising. Both teams have explosive batters. England’s captain, Jos Buttler, and Liam Livingstone have experience playing on this ground, which could pose a challenge for India.
However, no matter how much the pitch has changed, one thing remains certain—it will still assist spinners, which will be beneficial for India. Team India has played with three spinners in both matches so far, and the same strategy is expected in the final match. England’s Adil Rashid could also prove to be effective on this surface.
