IND vs AFG Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of?Arun Jaitley Stadium,?Delhi | India vs Afghanistan ICC World Cup 2023

IND vs AFG: Rohit Sharma-led India and Hashmatullah-led Afghanistan will square off against each other in the 9th match of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. The two Asian counterparts will battle in the contest scheduled to be played on 11 October at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. This post will walk you through the IND vs AFG Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.

India started their campaign with a win beating Australia, while Afghanistan, in contrast, soundly lost their opening game against Bangladesh. India are in the top 4 of the World Cup 2023 Points table, meanwhile, Afghanistan are second last.

In the first match of the series, Afghanistan were humiliated by Bangladesh. Despite losing their opening match, Afghanistan wouldn't want to alter their lineup just yet, even though an experienced left-arm wrist spinner like Noor Ahmad gives considerable value against a lineup that is primarily right-heavy.

On the other hand, having had an uphill battle in Chennai, Rohit Sharma would like his squad to keep their momentum and prepare for the emotionally packed weekend that is waiting on the other side. Afghanistan can serve as the ideal pre-test check as they are a formidable opponent in Asian conditions. Keep in mind that this game is also significant as it is worth precisely the same number of points as the one before it and the one after it.

Mohammed Shami, who recorded a hat-trick in this match four years ago, is a viable option on this surface, but India will need to be ready to forgo their depth in the batting order following a lackluster start against Australia. To that extent, they could think about replacing Shardul Thakur. Since being hospitalized, Shubman Gill is still not available and Ishan will open with Rohit.

Pitch Report Of Arun Jaitley Stadium

Because of its dry surface and short boundaries, which make it easy for players to cross the boundary, the Arun Jaitley Stadium is ideal for batters. Eric Simons informed Cricbuzz that the pitch that is going to be used in the IND vs AFG is of black soil.

Spinners may also gain a lot from the pitch's dryness as the game progresses. Teams who win the toss frequently choose to bat first and attempt to protect their total in light of these factors.

In the last match played here between Sri Lanka and South Africa, the former massacred the prior and registered a number of records in that match. South Africa scored 428 runs in 50 overs which shows this Delhi pitch is definitely going to be a batting paradise.
