Pitch Report — Arun Jaitley

Balanced PitchAvg 1st Innings: 170-180

Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi offers a balanced wicket. The pitch helps seamers early with some movement, then flattens out for batting. Spinners find help in the second innings. April heat in Delhi can be a factor in afternoon games.

Toss Advice

For afternoon matches, batting first is preferred as the conditions are more predictable. Evening games slightly favor the chasing team.
