EDR vs PD Match Details, Match 27 Delhi T20 Premier League, 2025

EDR vs PD Pitch Report at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi:

The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, is known for its balanced pitch that supports both batters and bowlers. The surface is generally dry and hard, offering true bounce, which makes it good for stroke play, especially in the first innings. Besides, short square boundaries help batters score quickly, making it a high-scoring ground. However, as the match progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, which would be the correct time to use spinners in the game, especially during the middle order. Fast bowlers may get some help with the new ball, particularly under lights, but variations work better later.

The average first innings score in T20 matches is around 145-150, and chasing has been slightly easier due to the dew factor in the night games. Overall, it’s a ground where a balanced playing XI with strong top-order batters and bowlers, especially spinners, could make an impact.
