The final game of the 2023 Border Gavaskar Trophy will happen at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Here, we look at the pitch report of Narendra Modi Stadium and the weather conditions in Ahmedabad for IND vs AUS 2023.
India had to endure a disappointing loss in the third game at Indore. They will now have to win the upcoming encounter to seal a spot in the WTC final. Moreover, they would not want to draw the series, after having started so well in the first two matches. Since a draw is almost out of question, India should focus on winning the match.
Batting will yet again be under the spotlight in Ahmedabad. Players such as Virat Kohli and KS Bharat have not been great so far. We could expect a few changes and it may not be a surprise if even Mohammed Siraj might have to miss out. The opening combination is likely to remain the same and Shubman Gill will have to justify his selection with a strong display.

In recent times, India played a Test against England at this venue. Axar Patel was brilliant in that match and it is expected that the surface will heavily assist spin again.
The hot overhead conditions will also have an impact on the surface. Considering the disappointing pitch at Indore, it needs to be seen how the Ahmedabad track will behave.

The fans at the stadium and the players on the field will have a tough time in Ahmedabad. The temperatures could hit as high as 40 degrees Celsius and these conditions will not be comfortable for anyone involved.
As for rainfall, there are no predictions right now. Hence, we can expect uninterrupted action between India and Australia in the final BGT game.
