How is the Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch and Delhi weather
The pitch of Arun Jaitley Stadium suits the batsmen very much. Bowlers can make an impact with good line-length. Spinners can play an important role here. A total of 175 to 185 can be challenging on this pitch. The team winning the toss may choose to chase the target. There is also a forecast of rain.
Playoff battle will be exciting
The league has now entered its second half and the battle to make it to the playoffs will get more exciting with the passing matches. Delhi is at the last place in the points table and now it can reach the playoffs only by a miracle, but if the visiting team wins this match, then it will make it to the top-4.
Only fighting is left! Why Kohli-Gambhir don’t get along?
Hosts need to improve batting
Both the teams won their last encounter defending a low total and would like to repeat their performance here. Fast bowler Khaleel Ahmed, who returned after three weeks, and experienced Ishant Sharma were the architects of Delhi’s victory and have kept them in the competition. However, the batting once again failed, especially the Indian batsmen, especially Akshar Patel, who is in good form and should be given a place higher in the batting order.
Kedar will get a chance!
Kedar Jadhav, who was doing commentary till some time ago, has been given a chance to play in the middle of the tournament by RCB head coach Sanjay Bangar. He has been kept to strengthen the middle order. In bowling, Mohammad Siraj and Josh Hazlewood performed well in Lucknow. The same will be expected from spinners Karn Sharma and Wanindu Hasaranga.
