Pitch Report:
As per the previous pitch report of Arun Jaitley Stadium, this pitch is batsman-friendly, with short boundaries and a fast outfield providing good support to the batsmen. But in the last few matches, the pitch has become a bit slow, which favors spinners. If you are playing Dream11 or fantasy cricket, it can be important to include spinners in your team.
