Pitch and Weather Report

The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad has been a high-scoring venue throughout this edition of the Indian T20 League  (IPL). The pitch has consistently favoured the batters, with the average first-innings score at this ground being a staggering 203 runs.

The surface is typically flat and true, offering excellent value for shots. The short boundaries have also contributed to the high-scoring nature of the matches played here. Bowlers have often found it challenging to contain the big-hitting batters, with the ball frequently sailing over the ropes.

According to the latest weather reports, there is a 30% chance of rain during the scheduled match time. This could potentially lead to interruptions and delays, which could disrupt the flow of the game and impact the strategies of both teams.

The rain showers could make the pitch slightly more challenging for batting, as the wet conditions may offer some assistance to the bowlers. Additionally, the damp outfield could result in slower ball movement and make it trickier for the fielders to stop boundaries.
