WDL vs NDT: Pitch Report

DPL 2025 at Arun Jaitley Stadium is turning out to be a paradise for batsmen, as there have been 10 successful run chases and nine wins for the side batting first in the first 19 completed matches. The short boundaries are making life very difficult for the bowlers so expect a match where both teams will be scoring heavily. The bowlers will have to try and get some movement off the new ball if they want to have any kind of impact.
