The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi has undergone a transformation, shedding its previous reputation for slow, bowler-friendly pitches. Recent changes have resulted in a more balanced surface, offering opportunities for both batsmen and bowlers. While the dry conditions will still help the bowlers throughout the game, the pitch now allows spinners a little less assistance, making it a more even contest between bat and ball. This is not a high-scoring venue and with the game tomorrow being the first one there, it will be interesting to see whether teh captain who wins the toss will opt to bat or field.
