IND vs AFG 1st T20I: Delhi Current Weather Conditions
Sunday mornings brought cloud cover and the feeling of the wet air hanging in Delhi. Many areas of the city had been hit by light rain on the weekend. IMD has reported that the very light to light rains in the last 24 hours have brought thunderstorms plus lightning flashes.
With humidity levels remaining high, the capital is getting all foggy and cloudy weather. Weather is usually hot by late afternoon in September, but this one has kept things reasonably cool for the time being, and if the clouds get low enough, the day could still bring a few more showers in the evening hours.
IND vs AFG: Delhi Weather Forecast For Today’s 1st T20I at Arun Jaitley Stadium
The weather on Sunday is expected to be mainly cloudy with the possibility of light rain and thunderstorms. Multiple sources anticipate heavy rains that could prevent players from continuing their game in the evening hours when the match is scheduled to proceed. A weather report even suggested the existence of a substantial chance of precipitation on the playing surface during the time of the game, giving rise to worry about possible delays, interruptions, or even a shortened contest. A total washout hasn’t become a likelihood just yet, but rain and thunderstorms will still pose major dangers.
IND vs AFG 1st T20I: Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report And Ground Conditions
Located in a cricket-friendly city, Arun Jaitley Stadium is a ground that favors batsmen. The ground is characterized by its small boundaries and a quick outfield. Matches played here are generally high-scoring, in particular in T20 cricket, though maybe a recent rain may have dampened the field and provided seamers at least for some early overs.
As the match progresses, spinners should also come into play. Besides, dew is a key factor that is generally prevalent in Delhi during evening matches. It’s quite likely that captains who win the toss will prefer to bowl first, to get the most out of any early movement and to avoid bowling under wet conditions later in the night.
