Pitch & Venue Analysis — Arun Jaitley Stadium

Pitch Type: Balanced | Batting Score: 6/10 | Spin Rating: 5/10

Average First Innings Score: 174 runs | Chasing Win Rate: 48%

Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi can be deceptive — the pitch looks batting-friendly but offers variable bounce, making stroke-making tricky in the first few overs. Pacers benefit from that extra bounce and seamers hit the hard length effectively. Dew makes life easier for the chasing team's quicker bowlers in the second innings.
