WDL vs EDR: Pitch Report

The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium is likely to favor those batters who play shots. Boundary sizes being shorter, bowlers—especially pace bowlers—will have to be very accurate, especially in the death overs, where the game can change fast. The surface gives very little help to bowlers, so defending totals can be tough. The team that wins the toss is expected to bat first and try to post a big score.
