SDS vs WDL: Pitch Report

The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium has become slow after being used a lot but it is still good for batting. The teams that have chased have had an easier time at this ground so chasing is the best tactic to use here. Batsmen will look to take full advantage of the powerplay, while having wickets in hand could allow them to score big during the last few overs.
