Why the Toss Could Be Important in DC vs GT Clash
The Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch has historically favoured batters, with short boundaries and a quick outfield helping teams post big totals. However, weather conditions in Delhi have been slightly uncertain, with rain forecast in parts of the evening.
If moisture remains on the surface due to earlier rain, captains may prefer to bowl first to take advantage of early seam movement. Dew later in the evening could also influence the decision, making chasing slightly easier under lights.
Given these factors, the toss could significantly influence how both teams approach their innings.
