Meanwhile, the Titans lost a close encounter to Punjab Kings in Mullanpur after failing to defend 162 as PBKS won in the last over with three wickets in hand. They suffered another close defeat to the Rajasthan Royals, falling six runs short of the 211-run target at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The two now meet in Delhi with rain around; however, it has been sunny in the capital till now on the matchday. Ahead of the clash, here is all you need to know about the pitch of the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch report
The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is set to offer a high-scoring contest. In the four-night games that took place at this venue in IPL 2024 and 2025, teams were able to score 200 more often than not, while batting at the death, offering runs too.
If it starts raining in Delhi in the build-up to the match or in between, the surface and the outfield will get moisture, which can help the fast bowlers to get seam movement. Currently, it is clear and sunny in Delhi.
