Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report
Arun Jaitley Stadium has smaller boundaries, which favors power hitters and generally favors batsmen. However, spinners and medium pacers can still use variations in pace and length to gain an advantage, though not as much as batsmen. On the other hand, Kotla Stadium usually has a slow ground for ODIs. Because of the small boundaries and fast outfield, teams batting second tend to do slightly better.
