Kolkata vs Delhi pitch report
The last couple of matches at this venue have turned out to be low-scoring contests. In the last match, we saw Bangalore pacers running riot with the new ball. There will be swing with the new ball, which makes fast bowlers lethal on this tricky Abu Dhabi wicket. There is ample spin in the wicket and spinners should look to bowl slow. Batsmen should see off the new ball and get settled at the crease before shifting gears.
The pitch in the last game went on to get better as the game progressed which is why the team winning the toss could look to field first and restrict the opposition to a low total. The average first-innings score at this venue in the Dream11 IPL 2020 has been 158. The teams batting first have won five games while the sides chasing have triumphed on eight occasions. One game has ended in a tie.
Therefore, it is possible that the team winning the toss could look to field first.
