DC vs KKR Scorecard: Delhi Pitch Report! 🏟️

The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is expected to offer a balanced deck for the DC vs KKR IPL 2025 match. The batters might enjoy the conditions initially to score brisk runs by capitalising on the track's even pace.


However, run-scoring might get difficult as the game progresses. The fast bowlers might get the ball to hold up a bit, while the spinners will likely receive significant turn in the middle overs.


Offering pace could backfire the seamers, as they are advised to vary their pace and try to outfox the batters by bowling cleverly. Unless the track is on the drier side, expect the toss-winning team to bowl first.
