Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi: Pitch Report
The Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi is regarded as one of the more batting-friendly venues in the country. The wicket is often flat and offers consistent bounce, allowing batters to play their shots on the up. Bowlers can get help in the form of lateral movement for seamers with the new ball and grip and turn for spinners, but these are also negated by the shorter boundaries. The tournament has seen a sizeable number of high-scoring matches despite the impacts of rain.
