The weather in Delhi is expected to be a little humid on Sunday evening. There is almost no chance of rain around the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. There will be a temperature of around 34 degrees Celsius in the evening, and the match is expected to complete without any disturbance from the weather.
The pitch of the Arun Jaitley Stadium is highly favourable for batters in T20 cricket. The boundaries are short, and there is an even bounce from the surface. Spinners get a little turn, but seamers may get what they need if they bowl in the right areas. A high-scoring game is on the cards.
