Pitch and Conditions
The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is known for its batting-friendly pitch, where batters can expect to score more runs. The flat pitch and the smaller boundaries will help the batsmen more than the bowlers.
This venue provides very little assistance to bowlers, who need to be extremely precise with their bowling. The average first-innings score has been 168.
The captain who wins the toss should opt to bowl first, as chasing is generally easier on this pitch.
