On Wednesday, India will lock horns with Bangladesh in the second T20I of the ongoing three-match series. The high-octane clash will take place at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. 

Led by Suryakumar Yadav, India had a fabulous start to the series, securing a comprehensive seven-wicket win in the first T20I in Gwalior. Batting first, Bangladesh crumbled like a pack of cards, being bowled out for a paltry 127-run total. Varun Chakravarthy and Arshdeep Singh wreaked havoc in the Tigers camp, sharing six wickets between themselves. 

In response, India blazed their way through to the target, courtesy of flamboyant knocks from Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya. The Indian batters' aggressive intent became the talk of the town, with skipper Surya leading the charge with a major six-hitting milestone. 

So, moving on to this match, Bangladesh will put their best foot forward and boost their morale with a series-levelling win. Before the game begins, let's see how the surface at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi will behave throughout the contest. 

Arun Jaitley Stadium Delhi Pitch Report

The surface at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi will offer marginal seam movement to the new ball bowlers. The track's even pace and bounce will favour stroke play, with the batters enjoying their time in the middle. 

However, the pitch might offer a hint of turn to the spinners, who would like to capitalise on it in the middle overs. Nevertheless, the degree of turn will be less and easily negotiable for quality batters. 

Overall, it will be a sound batting track, having something in it for the spinners. Anything around 180-190 should be a par score at this venue, but it will need some high-class bowling to control the flow of runs. Given that the pitch doesn't change drastically with time, the toss-winner will likely bowl first.
