Pitch Report—Arun Jaitley Stadium
Arun Jaitley Stadium has been a batter-friendly track with short boundaries and a fast outfield. During the early powerplay overs, batsmen should expect their shots to be amply rewarded. However, with time, the slow nature of the pitch might aid the spinners. The average first innings score at this venue is around 170; analyzing that, a score around 170 could put pressure on the side batting second.
Weather Report for Delhi: The weather forecast for Delhi states hot and dry conditions, with temperatures hovering around 36 degrees Celsius at the start of the match and eventually cooling down to around 33 degrees Celsius by 11 PM. No rain is expected, so the match will proceed without any interruptions.
