condition of delhi pitch
The pitch of Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is generally considered very good for the batsmen. The outfield here is fast and the boundaries are also small, due to which a lot of fours and sixes are hit.
There is not much help for fast bowlers on this pitch, but spinners can prove to be effective here. In the first two matches, Afghanistan’s batsmen looked very troubled, while Indian batsmen scored runs very easily. India achieved the target of 157 runs in just 13.4 overs in the first match and the target of 160 runs in just 14.5 overs in the second match.
