IPL 2023: DC vs CSK Pitch Report and Weather Forecast
Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report
Key Points
The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is known for its slow and low bounce pitch. The average runs scored per wicket here is 175, which is lower than the league average of 185. Pacers often find it difficult to extract pace and bounce from this surface.
However, with the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) reaching its business end, the pitch is expected to behave differently. The hot and humid conditions in Delhi will result in the pitch becoming drier and more conducive to batting. The average score in the previous IPL matches played in Delhi this season has been 190, suggesting a high-scoring contest between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
Toss Prediction
Teams winning the toss are likely to prefer batting first, taking advantage of the early moisture and the possibility of dew in the latter half of the match.
Weather Forecast
The weather in Delhi is expected to be partly cloudy with a temperature of around 32 degrees Celsius. There is a 10% chance of rain, which is unlikely to affect the match.
Overall Verdict
The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is expected to assist batters with its slow and low bounce nature. However, the dry conditions and high temperatures could also lead to the pitch becoming more suitable for stroke-play. A high-scoring encounter is anticipated between DC and CSK.
