DC vs GT: Pitch Report

The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium usually helps batters because it is flat and has short boundaries. This can lead to a high-scoring match. Batting in the second innings is often easier as the pitch stays the same and offers little help to bowlers, except for good-length deliveries. In the last game, spinners got some turn. Teams will likely choose to bowl first. The average first innings score is around 170–180 runs.
