Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad will host a women’s international ODI match for the first time ever. Under the New Zealand Women’s Tour of India ODI Series 2024, all three matches will be held at the stadium in Motera, with the first on October 24, the second on October 27, and the third on October 29.
Gujarat Cricket Association Secretary Anil Patel told the media that women’s cricket is being organized for the first time at Narendra Modi Stadium.
