Pitch Report—Arun Jaitley Stadium
Traditionally, this ground has always been known to make a batting-friendly pitch with short boundaries and square fields. It normally gives healthy returns to batting during powerplay overs, but as the game wears on, spinners may get hold of it and use it to their advantage due to the slow nature of the track. It indicates that a score in that range should keep the contest pretty interesting.
Weather in Delhi: As for the weather on the day of the match, the forecast suggests clear skies with evening temperatures hovering around 42 degrees Celsius. Expect moderate levels of humidity for a comfortable playing environment, with no chances of rain being predicted.
