The first double header match of IPL 2024 will be played on 23 March. PBKS vs DC clash will take place on Saturday at 3 pm. This will be the first match of both the teams. In such a situation, both the teams would like to open their account with a win. But before that, let us know how the weather will be during the match and which team will have the upper hand on the pitch?
Weather report in PBKS vs DC match.
Pambaj vs. DC (PBKS vs. DC) will play their second and first IPL 2024 double header match in Chandigarh on March 23.
The weather in Chandigarh will be 34 degrees Celsius during the day and 19 degrees Celsius at night on Saturday, according to a prediction from Weather.com.
During the day, the sky will be clear; at night, it will be partially cloudy. However, there is absolutely no chance of rain throughout this time. But at night, the humidity will rise to 37% from 29% during the day. In contrast, the wind will gust at a pace of 23 km/h. The current weather is going to be perfect, so spectators should have no trouble enjoying this match. Despite the fact that this stadium has held domestic games. In the previous year’s Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy tournament, a few games were played here.
However, at this time, there were just a few low-scoring T20 encounters. On this wicket, it is anticipated that spinners and fast bowlers will receive equal assistance. On the other hand, the batsmen could encounter numerous challenges when trying to score runs. It is anticipated that the game will have few goals in such circumstances.
There have been 23 T20 matches held at SMAT’s International Cricket Stadium. In fifteen matches, the first-batting team prevailed, while the second-batting team won eight. That is, it stands to reason that throw will play a significant part in this game.
The first innings’ average score is 148, and the second innings’ average run total is 116.
low-scoring contest most likely
Rain is not expected in Chandigarh during the PBKS vs. DC IPL 2024 match. Thus, the contest will not be impacted by the weather.
It is well known that there is no chance of any IPL game being impacted by rain because it is summer in India right now.
The 2024 Indian Premier League match between the Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings won’t be impacted by the weather. On the other hand, the pitch’s state may have a significant effect.
Teams may find it tough to score a lot of points in a game at MYS International Stadium due to its low scoring system.
Everyone will be watching Rishabh Pant.
It is notable that Rishabh Pant, the captain of the Delhi Capitals, has missed the last 14 months of cricket owing to injuries.
However, he will make his first appearance on the pitch following the injury. Let us inform you that in December 2022, Pant was a victim of a horrible tax mishap.
He stopped playing competitive cricket after that. However, he is now fully healthy and prepared to lead the Delhi Capitals.
He will captain the team for the first time following the injury against Punjab Kings (PBKS vs. DC).
How did both teams do in the previous season?
Let me inform you that Australian player David Warner assumed leadership of the Delhi Capitals during Rishabh Pant’s absence in the previous campaign.
However, the group’s performance when he was captain was dismal. They have only won five and lost nine of the fourteen games. In addition, the squad finished the 2023 Indian Premier League ninth in the standings with ten points.
Speaking of Punjab Kings (PBKS vs. DC), they were likewise a poor performer in the previous campaign.
Punjab had six wins and eight losses in its 14 games. With 12 points, he came in eighth place in the points table at the completion of his journey.
