Pitch report and conditions for today’s match
The 51st match of the 2026 T20 World Cup will be held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. We had noted in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this location is good for batting. The pitch is bouncy and fast and scoring runs is not that easy in ealy and middle overs. We hope that the surface will become slower and a bit more difficult for hitting in this match. A score of 180 will be difficult to achieve.
