Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium 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 favouring only one style of play. As the game progresses, it tends to offer more assistance to spin bowlers, a trend observed historically. This evolution in pitch behaviour, reminiscent of patterns seen at numerous other venues, often gives the chasing team a slight edge.

Hyderabad Weather Forecast:

The chances of rain are slim, yet there’s uncertainty regarding uninterrupted gameplay in the Hyderabad match. Anticipate pleasant temperatures, reaching a peak of approximately 34 degrees Celsius. Nonetheless, with gentle breezes at 11 km/hr and moderate humidity at 58%, the conditions aren’t forecasted to be optimal for players and spectators alike.
