Preview for Dream11 Fantasy
Gujarat have won back to back two games in Ranji Trophy 2019-20 and they are on the second position in their group with 26 points. They hold a big opportunity to grab the top spot by winning the upcoming clash against Delhi. Bhargav Merai is the leading run-scorer for his side with 399 runs in six games. In the previous game, Parthiv Patel also muscled a brilliant fifty in the first innings. He will certainly look to click a breakthrough knock with his bat. Roosh Kalaria has done extremely in the bowling department as he has grabbed 24 wickets in his five games with one five-wicket haul.
Delhi looks quite inconsistent as their players have failed to perform well in the domestic tournament in this season. Only Nitish Rana has smacked 467 runs in six games with two centuries and as many fifties. The other players in the team should come up with improved performance against in-form Gujarat. Otherwise, they might have to suffer their second defeat in the ongoing tournament.
Weather Report/Condition
There are no chances of rain on Day 1 of the matchday between Delhi and Gujarat. The weather will be clear on Day 1 but it will be cloudy on Day 2 and Day 3. The wind is expected to blow at a rate of 11 to 13 km/hr whereas the temperature is expected to hover between 7 and 19 Degree Celsius throughout Day 1 according to Accuweather. The players can expect a chilling atmosphere during match time.
Pitch Report
The bowlers will get a lot of help from the wicket at Arun Jaitley Stadium. The batsmen might have to struggle to score runs in the match. In the four day game, the batsmen will have to wait for the opportunity to score runs. In the past three games, the side fielding on Day 1 has won all the matches. So, probably the side winning the toss will opt to field at this venue as far as the trends of the tournament are concerned.
