Get ready for sixes!

The Ahmedabad pitch for Qualifier 1 is a batting paradise.

Lush outfield, short boundaries (63m square, 70m straight), and a touch of dryness on the surface make it ideal for power-hitters. While some areas offer a hint of moisture for slower deliveries, Matthew Hayden expects minimal assistance for spinners.

Buckle up for a high-scoring encounter!
