SER vs GUJ Pitch Report

Air Force Complex Ground, Delhi

Air Force Complex Ground hosts this Test match, and reading the surface early will matter.

Across the last 3 Test matches here, the side batting first has averaged 190, with chasing teams averaging 202.

The last 3 first-innings scores here, newest first: 266 (SER), 184 (BEN, won), 120 (SER, lost).

Spin has done the damage here: slow bowlers have taken 77% of the wickets (65 of 84). Seamers have gone at 3.29 an over and spinners at 2.60, so expect the slower bowlers to be used to control the scoring.

3 recent first-class games here produced 2 results and 1 draw, with the side batting first winning 1 of them. The best successful fourth-innings chase in that time was 333, so anything much above that should be enough to bowl at on the last day.

Toss call: bat first. Batting last on a wearing pitch is the hardest job in Test cricket.
