The surface at the Arun Jaitley Stadium (Kotla) is expected to heavily assist the batters. Since the 2023 ODI World Cup, this has been one of those grounds where scoring rates have been among the highest. During the T20 World Cup 2026, the venue produced high-scoring affairs, and it is likely to remain the same in the IPL. As it is a day game, dew is not going to play a part, so the toss won’t be a factor. However, the surface has been under cover after it rained in New Delhi on the eve of the game. Thus, bowling first could still be the ideal choice.
