Pitch Report

Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi's pitch is commonly known as a surface that is conducive to batting. The wicket is flat and firm at the start of the match, which allows batters to play their shots freely and score good runs. Spinners may receive assistance in the middle overs as the game progresses. Batters can definitely score due to the fast outfield and relatively short boundaries. The average first-inning score at this venue is around 175
