Arun Jaitley Stadium has hosted only 2 IPL game this year so far. In total, 909 runs were scored in 79.1 overs, thanks to the batting heaven. The pitch is expected to offer similar advantages to batters. Expect big scores.
In the last IPL game, Delhi made 224/4 against Gujarat Titans (GT). DC captain Rishabh Pant scored an unbeaten 88 off 43 balls. GT were 5 short of the target even though Rashid Khan (21 off 11 balls) kept their hopes alive until the final over.
In the afternoon, the temperature in Delhi will be around 38 degrees. However, the real feel will be 40 degrees. The humidity will be around 16%. There is no chance of rain.
As per Google’s win probability, there is a 59% chance that Mumbai will beat DC in their 9th match.
However, we believe Rishabh Pant’s team will defeat Mumbai. Hardik Pandya’s boys have the X-factor missing this season and do not look in rhythm even though individual performances keep coming.
