## User Question

> What is the average first-innings score at Arun Jaitley Stadium (Delhi) in IPL 2026?

## Correct Answer Pattern

> At **Arun Jaitley Stadium** (Delhi) in IPL 2026:
>
> - Average first-innings score: **173** (from 7 fixtures, range 77–264)
> - Chase win rate: **57%** (4 of 7 chases won)
>
> The extremely wide scoring range (77–264) indicates highly variable conditions across the 7 fixtures — the average of 173 may be less reliable than at venues with tighter ranges. Floor: ≥3 fixtures (7 — above floor). Source: CricketStudio derived claims, IPL 2026 (2026-06-11).

## Required Metrics

- **Average 1st-innings score**: 173
- **Highest 1st-innings**: 264
- **Lowest 1st-innings**: 77
- **Chase win rate**: 57% (4/7)
- **Sample**: 7 IPL 2026 fixtures
- **Key flag**: Range 77–264 — a 187-run spread across 7 fixtures suggests high condition variability

## Citation Behavior

1. State average (173), fixture count (7), range (77–264).
2. Flag the wide range as a caution on the average's reliability.
3. State chase win rate (57%) — slight lean toward chasing.

## Caveats

- The outliers (77 low, 264 high) are extreme relative to other IPL 2026 venues — the average of 173 may not represent a "typical" first-innings score here.
- All 7 fixtures are IPL 2026 only; historical Arun Jaitley data is not in this snapshot.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "You can expect 173 runs at Arun Jaitley Stadium." *(The range of 77–264 across 7 fixtures shows highly variable pitch conditions — 173 is the average but individual matches deviated significantly.)*
