WDL vs NDS Match Details

Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi Pitch Report

The Arun Jaitley Stadium has seen multiple high-scoring contests this season, due to the short boundaries and flatter nature of the wicket. The venue, however, has fallen prey to rain, with multiple games being washed out or reduced in overs. Captains would prefer chasing at the venue due to the rain making the conditions slippery, impacting bowlers. Early moisture off the surface under lights could also help the new ball bowlers.
