PITCH REPORT
Arun Jaitley Stadium, formerly known as Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, is a prominent cricket stadium located in New Delhi, India. It is one of the oldest cricket grounds in India and has hosted numerous domestic and international matches.
The Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch is dry and hard with no grass, making it ideal for batting first. In recent T20I, ODI, and IPL matches, we’ve seen high scores on the board in the first innings. The pitch provides balanced help to both bowlers and batsmen. Fast bowlers can find some assistance early on, while spinners come into play as the match progresses. Batting first is the preferred choice here. The outfield is good, and well-timed shots can reach the boundary quickly. Dew can affect the outfield during night matches.
- 1. Big Boundaries: One notable characteristic of Arun Jaitley Stadium is its relatively big boundaries, especially square of the wicket. This makes it tough for batsmen to clear the ropes and score boundaries, leading to high-scoring contests.
- 2. Weather Conditions: Weather conditions in Delhi experience extreme weather conditions, with hot summers and cold winters.
Overall, Arun Jaitley Stadium is known for producing entertaining and average-scoring matches, with something in it for both batsmen and bowlers. It’s a venue where fans can expect exciting cricketing action, particularly in limited-overs formats like T20 and One-Day Internationals.
