Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report

Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, earlier known as Feroz Shah Kotla, is considered a paradise of batsmen for T20 cricket. After the ICC ODI World Cup in 2023, it has become famous for high scoring matches after improving the pitch. The pitch is expected to be flat and batting for the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025, which will have a continuous bounce and fast outfield. Small boundary (58-66 meters square and 71 meters straight) helps batsmen play aggressive shots. However, this season has been in favor of bowlers so far this season.

Challenges for bowlers

According to data from the previous IPL and T20 matches, the pitch gives a slight help to fast bowlers in the initial overs, but as the game progresses, it becomes a little favorable for spinners. Dry surface and presence of some grass can provide turn and grip to spinners. Teams winning the toss often choose bowling first, because batting in the second innings becomes easy due to dew at night.

Weather effect

In August 2025, the temperature in Delhi is expected to be 35-38 degrees Celsius and humidity is expected to be 26-29%. In such a situation, the possibility of rain is less visible, but dew can become a challenge for bowlers in night matches.

It is worth noting that Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 is a T20 franchise cricket tournament organized by Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA). After its successful start in 2024, this second season is being held from August 2 to 31 August 2025. This season, eight teams are participating in this season, including two new teams – Outer Delhi Warriors and New Delhi Tigers.
