The pitch in Delhi is traditionally a batsman’s paradise with a flat and firm surface. However, history suggests that spinners might get some help in the first half of the match.
- Toss Factor: Win the toss and bowl first. Chasing under lights becomes easier here due to the potential dew factor.
- Average Score: 1st Innings: 171 | 2nd Innings: 155.
