 Pitch report

The ArunJaitley Stadium in New Delhi can be described as a paradise for batters. The outfield is quick, and the boundaries are short. A lot of runs are expected to be scored on Wednesday. The captain who wins the toss would be tempted to bat first and set up a formidable total on the board. Unless there’s dew in the second innings, chasing monstrous targets is not going to be easy.
