This evening, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will lock horns with Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match number 62 of the IPL 2025 season. The game between the finalists of the inaugural season will be played at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. 

Both teams have already been knocked out of the tournament. Therefore, this match could be referred to as a dead-rubber having little significance. In such a scenario, CSK and RR will play for their pride and try their hearts out for a fitting finish in the competition. 

As the stage is set for a cracking contest, let's see how the surface at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi will behave throughout the match.

Is Arun Jaitley Stadium's Pitch batting or bowling friendly?

The surface at Arun Jaitley Stadium has mostly assisted the batters in the IPL this season. The average scoring rate of 9.66 signifies that the batters have enjoyed their time in the middle. 

The ground generally offers a relatively flat and batting-friendly pitch with even pace and bounce. However, statistically, the spinners have been more successful than the fast bowlers in Delhi this season. 

Also, with the sun beating down, the track could be slightly on the drier side. It might bring spinners into play in the middle overs. The last match in Delhi witnessed a run-fest, as both teams breached the 200-run mark. 

So, unless an extremely dry surface is dished out, expect the toss-winning side to bowl first.
