PITCH REPORT
The surfaces in the UAE are clearly getting drier and drier with every passing match. The good news for the batsmen is that despite the slowness, the surfaces still have even bounce and pace. Also, dew has started to make a massive impact and the teams have increasingly preferring to chase now. We saw the advantage the chasing team has in the last two matches as well and that can be the case again.Considering that bowling will get difficult in the second half of the second innings owing to the lights, the team batting first will want to post a total of at least 180 runs on the board.
TOSS PREDICTION
It is a high-pressure game for Delhi Capitals and runs on the board could prove to be game-changing. Also, the fact that they failed to chase well in the previous match will be playing on their minds. Conditions, however, have so far supported the team batting second as dew had made gripping the ball difficult. Therefore team winning the toss would like to bat first.
