IPL 2025 Final In Ahmedabad: A Look At Stadium's IPL Track Record
The final of IPL 2025, which was earlier scheduled to be held on May 25 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, will now take place on June 3 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Ahead of the grand finale, let's take a look at how this venue has performed in the IPL and whether batters or bowlers tend to dominate here.

A total of 40 IPL matches have been played at the Narendra Modi Stadium so far:
21 matches have been won by the chasing team
19 matches were won by the team batting first

Batters vs Bowlers in Ahmedabad

4 matches were won by teams batting first
This points to a trend reversal where batting first has become a clear advantage this season.
