AUS vs NED, World Cup 2023: Delhi Stadium Pitch Report, Avg Score, Highest Total and More
The extensive renovation and the installation of a brand-new pitch at the Delhi ground have completely transformed the nature of this cricket venue, reminiscent of its high-scoring reputation back in 2021. This makeover has rejuvenated the pitch, creating a scenario where the ball consistently comes onto the bat, and the track is about as flat as it can possibly be.
The three matches that have already been played on this rejuvenated ground provide a clear narrative of what to expect. These encounters vividly showcase the newfound batting paradise – from the jaw-dropping 754-run spectacle in the clash between South Africa and Sri Lanka to the astonishing 35-over chase executed by India against Afghanistan.
As Australia prepares to step onto this newly revamped ground to face the Netherlands, they will undoubtedly be met with a pristine, unblemished surface that promises runs aplenty. The captain, Pat Cummins, and his team would ideally prefer to win the toss and bat first, with the intention of piling on a mammoth total that could potentially bat the opposition out of the game. The conditions are overwhelmingly favorable for the batsmen, setting the stage for an exhilarating display of power-hitting and potentially record-breaking scores in this transformed Delhi ground.
