The Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi is all set to host its last game of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 as Sri Lanka will take on Bangladesh on Monday.
With one win and six losses in seven matches, Bangladesh have already been eliminated from the competition. They will now look to secure a place in the Champions Trophy 2025 by finishing among the top 8 teams.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka are also almost out of the competition with only two wins and five losses in seven matches. However, they are still not mathematically out of the equation. Hence, they will be eyeing a massive win here.
In this post, we will take a look at the Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch, Venue Stats, Record, and Average Score ahead of the World Cup clash between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
