ODI World Cup 2023: India vs Afghanistan weather forecast in Delhi

India and Afghanistan will be taking on each other in Arun Jaitley stadium in Delhi, in Match 9 of the group stage in the ODI World Cup 2023. This will be the first instance of the two teams playing each other in ODIs since the 2019 ODI World Cup match. Both teams are looking forward to the match and the fans will be hoping for good playing conditions.

The weather is totally clear for the match between India and Afghanistan. The temperature will hover around 35 degrees centigrade during the afternoon and will gradually decrease with the progression of the game. It will reduce to 32 degrees centigrade by 4 PM and will decrease to 26 degrees centigrade by around 6 PM. By night, the dew is likely to set in and the temperature will be low.

At nighttime, the temperature will be around 22 degrees centigrade, which is ideal to play. The humidity will be around 54% across the match, which is totally fine. The precipitation is 0% and the wind speed will be around 10% for the entire match. These are perfect playing conditions. The players might be a bit tired in the daytime due to the temperature.

Batters to enjoy the playing conditions in Delhi

By evening, it will be pleasing for players and fans. The pitch is expected to be a belter for the batters. In the previous game in the tournament, South Africa smashed the highest ODI World Cup score. The Proteas scored a mammoth total of 428 runs on the board against Sri Lanka. Even after losing a couple of early wickets, Sri Lanka scored more than 320 runs. More than 750 runs were scored in the match.

In the past, the pitch in Delhi behaved differently. In 2019, the teams found it difficult to score runs at the venue. The nature of the wicket was slow. The batters did not get the ball nicely onto the bat. The spinners had their say at the venue in the past. But in the present situation, batters will enjoy playing at the venue, as the pitch is flat, and the boundaries are shorter.
