After securing a six-wicket victory over Australia, India will lock horns with Afghanistan in their second group-stage fixture of the ongoing ICC World Cup. While India had a dream start to their campaign, Afghanistan were crushed by Asian rivals Bangladesh in a low-scoring affair in Dharamsala. So, while Rohit Sharma and co. would like to sustain their unbeaten run, the Afghans should adopt a nothing to lose approach in order to force an upset. 

As the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi gears up to host the face-off, let's see how its pitch is expected to behave throughout the game. 


Arun Jaitley Stadium Delhi Pitch Report

The first match at the venue witnessed a run-fest, with South Africa and Sri Lanka leaving no stone unturned to entertain the spectators. The ball came nicely onto the bat; the bounce and pace was even. Furthermore, there was neither lateral movement nor significant turn, so the batters had a great time out there in the middle. 

A similar track is expected for this game as well. As it's the beginning of the Indian cricketing season, the surface in Delhi will be batting-friendly having a little assistance for the spinners. So, the bowlers must keep it tight, as control is the only key to success for them at this venue. The pitch won't change much in the latter half, so the toss-winner will likely opt to field first.
