On Saturday, South Africa will take on Sri Lanka in the fourth World Cup 2023 game at the iconic Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. This will be the first match for both sides in the showpiece event. South Africa had an undesirable outing in the warm-ups, losing to New Zealand in DLS method. Sri Lanka were even poorer in the warm-up leg, incurring heavy defeats to Afghanistan and Bangladesh. 

As both teams gear up for a cracking battle, let's see how the surface in Delhi is expected to play in this game. 


Arun Jaitley Stadium Delhi Pitch Report

The surface at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi traditionally assists the spinners, with its low bounce making it tough for the batters to play shots. However, as it's the beginning of the cricketing season in India, we expect a fresh track for this match. 

There will be even pace and bounce, aiding in stroke play. However, a hint of turn will be available for the spinners, who might play a pivotal role throughout the match. But we expect some dew to come in during the evening, help the ball skid through and make the conditions better for batting. So, considering it will be a fresh track, the toss-winner might opt to chase at the venue.
