NDS vs ODW: Match Details

Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi: Pitch Report

The Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi is considered one of the more batting-friendly venues in the country. The wicket is on the flatter end 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 negated by the shorter boundaries. With this being an evening game, the effect of dew is expected to be profound.
