Pitch Report: The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is traditionally considered to be slow, favouring spinners as the game progresses. However, in recent seasons, the surface with short boundaries has helped the batsmen. The new ball might provide some help to the fast bowlers. A score between 185 and 200 can be considered a good score at this venue.
