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.
