Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Tuesday.
Both teams, having secured the top two spots in the points table, will aim to clinch a spot in the final with a win in this upcoming match.
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is known for its batting-friendly pitch, providing an ideal environment for batters to thrive.
Pacers can find some assistance, particularly with the new ball, as the pitch offers turn and a bit of bounce. Spinners may also find a hint of turn off the surface.
However, batting usually becomes easier in the second half of the match. Ahmedabad traditionally favours chasing, so the team winning the toss will likely choose to bowl first.
The weather forecast for Qualifier 1 of IPL 2024 in Ahmedabad predicts ideal cricket conditions, with clear skies and no rain expected. Temperatures are expected to peak at 43 degrees Celsius, accompanied by gentle winds at around 17 km/hr and humidity levels at 20%.
