The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi is a slowish batting wicket, as we saw during the game against RCB. The pitch got better as the match progressed, with dew coming in. The team that wins the toss will look to field first in this match.
The weather in Delhi is expected to be hot. Since this will be a day game, it'll be even tougher for the players, especially the overseas players, to cope with the dry Mumbai heat. The temperatures will hover around 41°C. There is no chance of rainfall in this match.
Both teams are in good form with convincing wins under their belt, hence, both teams have a 50-50 chance of winning this match.
