Pitch report
According to Star commentator Ian Bishop and Nick Knight, the pitch of Arun Jaitley Stadium looks somewhat better this time. This is the same surface where the super over was played last time and both teams scored 188 runs. The ground is small and outfield is fast. A score above 160 is being expected on this pitch, but it is not completely compatible with the batsmen. Delhi’s strategy is clear. A better surface has been chosen to prevent spinners such as Naren and Chakraborty to prevent effective.
