Pitch and Conditions
The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is known for its batting-friendly pitch, where batters can expect to score more runs.
This venue provides very little assistance to bowlers, who need to be extremely precise with their bowling.
In the previous two matches, the average first-innings score has been 197. Considering the strong batting lineups of both teams in this match, the score could go even higher.
The captain who wins the toss should opt to bowl first, as chasing is generally easier on this pitch.
