Arun Jaitley Stadium Analysis

The surface of the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi is a little slow, which might be a problem for batters. However, the tiny area of the field and speedy outfield compensate for this, allowing for tremendous scoring. The World Cup and the last game tell belters are being offered to the batsmen.
