DC Vs KKR: Pitch Report
The Arun Jaitley Stadium surface has sometimes been unpredictable. Although it’s generally known to deliver high-scoring games, the pitch employed for DC’s last home game against RCB was dry and slow, providing significant support to the spinners. Batting wasn’t simple, and stroke-play became increasingly tricky towards the latter stages of the innings.
If the same strip or one similarly prepared is utilized, spin will once again be a determining factor, and batters will have to take their time before they start accelerating. Bowlers who possess the ability to change pace and deliver good lengths are most likely to be effective.

DC Vs KKR: Toss Strategy
In light of the nature of the pitch and prevailing conditions opting to bat first after winning the toss would be a good idea.The dry pitch will only slow up further in the latter half of the game, and chasing could become problematic. Teams will try to set a decent total between 160–175 and allow their spinners to put pressure in the evening. Dew is not likely to be a significant factor, which increases the chances of opting for setting a target.
