Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch in Arun Jaitley Stadium is a belter for the batters. Pacers don’t have much to do on this surface. However, the spinners will come into play at some stage of the game and the ball gets slower and lower a bit as well. With the fast outfield, the batters will enjoy their powerplay. Teams winning the toss will bowl first. Average first innings score on this track is 139.

With how things have gone in Delhi, the team batting first need to put runs on the board as the batting gets only easier to chase any kind of total. There will be something in it for the bowlers in the first innings but after that the batters will like the ball coming on to the bat. In the last game, pacers picked up 8 wickets as against 4 wickets for spinners.
