EDR vs CDK: Match Details

Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi: Pitch Report

The Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi is regarded as one of the most batting-friendly venues in the country. The wicket is often flat and offers consistent bounce, allowing batters to play their shots on the up. Bowlers can get help in the form of early lateral movement with the new ball, and grip and turn for spinners. These factors, however, are negated by the shorter boundaries. The tournament has seen a sizeable number of high-scoring matches despite the impacts of rain. With this set to be an evening game, the effect of dew is also expected to be significant.
