Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report
The pitches at the Arun Jaitley Stadium were known to be batting friendly, but like most venues in the sub-continent, they have assisted spin bowlers over the years. While it may remain batting friendly in the early days, the wicket may slow down as the game progresses, assisting the spinners. India will again load their bowling attack with spin. And if Australia have another collapse, expect another short Test match.
Delhi Weather Forecast
The weather forecast from Friday (February 17) to Tuesday (February 21) indicates sunny conditions throughout the playing days with max temperature of 29o C. There is no threat of rain on any of the match days or in the lead up to the match. So, weather will not play spoilsport in the Test match at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium.
