DC vs RCB, Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, Pitch Report
The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is expected to be a batting-friendly surface for tonight’s clash. As seen in previous matches this season, the wicket has been flat with a good amount of pace and bounce, helping stroke-makers to score freely. However, as the game progresses, the pitch tends to slow down slightly, bringing spinners into the contest, especially in the second innings. Dew could play a big role in the second half, making it easier for the team batting second. Captains might prefer to bowl first after winning the toss.
The weather in Delhi on Sunday evening is expected to be clear and warm. Temperatures will hover around 28-30°C during match time, with humidity levels around 40-45%. There’s no chance of rain, ensuring a full match without interruptions.
