Pitch Report:
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad is renowned for its batter-friendly pitches, fostering high-scoring encounters, particularly in the initial stages of a match. However, the pitch isn’t limited to favoring only one style of play. As the game progresses, it tends to offer more assistance to spin bowlers, a trend observed historically.
Hyderabad Weather Update:
Anticipate a high chance of rain, which may disrupt uninterrupted gameplay during the Hyderabad match.
The temperature is expected to reach a pleasant 37 degrees Celsius. However, with gentle breezes at 14 km/hr and moderate humidity around 53%, conditions may not be optimal for both players and spectators.
