Pitch Report
The surface at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is expected to be batting-friendly, though not as high-scoring as some previous games at the venue. While the pitch appears dry with a light covering of grass, there is a slight sheen under lights, suggesting good carry.
Square boundaries are evenly sized, with shorter dimensions on one side and around 73 meters straight, offering scoring opportunities. However, patches on the surface and minimal grass could also bring spinners into play as the match progresses.
The average first-innings score at the venue last season was around 198, indicating a competitive total could be in that range, though conditions may keep scores slightly lower.
