So it will be a high-scoring game.
In the Arun Jaitley stadium, there have been 27 matches played, with an even split of 13 wins for teams batting first and 13 wins for teams bowling first. Additionally, one match had to be cancelled. In the most recent six games, teams batting first emerged victorious in five of them.
