IPL 2026 Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch report: Batting and bowling records, average scores and chances of dew in New Delhi
Delhi Capitals are set to face Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in IPL 2026, with Delhi's playoff hopes hanging by a thread after a poor season. The stadium is known for its batting-friendly pitch, which typically supports high-scoring games and has an average score of around 180 runs.

- ▪Rajasthan Royals are in fifth place and can secure a playoff spot with two wins from their remaining three matches.
- ▪The Arun Jaitley Stadium has a batting-friendly black soil pitch, with Sunrisers Hyderabad holding the record for the highest team score of 278/3 set in 2025.
- ▪The lowest completed innings at the stadium was Delhi Capitals' 66 against Mumbai Indians in 2017.
- ▪Dew is not expected to impact the game, as conditions in Delhi during April and May are typically dry.
